Going into college, I didn't know what to expect. People make it to be so many different things, but I've learned that there's nothing like personally experiencing it to make your own judgements. My first two years at CSUSB have been amazing. I have learned so much in every single class I've taken from GE's to my major classes. I believe that it takes the will to want in order to succeed and get the best out of every situation. Despite the fact that I'm not a history fan or a science fan, I enjoyed my GE courses simply because the professors explained it so well and I was so invested in learning something. I never miss a class, I pay close attention, I take notes, I dedicate time to my work, and thanks to that I am at a 4.0 GPA so far. Besides academics however, CSUSB's environment is so comforting. Everyone from professors to students have been so kind and helpful. I am most definitely a proud CSUSB Coyote!
Very close and friendly environment. The variety of activities to do outside of class is great to have. The campus is beautiful, although very warm at times. The school has many resources any student can use to either get ahead or stay on track in their studies. The classes range from a small class of around 20, to a huge lecture hall ranging from the hundreds. The classes offered are great to get interested in a subject you thought you had once hated. Overall, a great experience at this school so far!
Everyone, especially the staff is very friendly! I can see that the faculty genuinely cares about the education of their students. Very "desert-like" campus. Not super school spirited but it is very nice to see many people from many different backgrounds. Faculty and students are very inclusive and kind. Thanks to them I was able to get more involved with the school and learn what steps I have to take in order to follow my choice of career paths.
