Cal State San Bernardino is a very nice and big school. The campus is very well-established and has pretty outdoor walk ways. One thing I liked about Cal State San Bernardino is that it is very diverse and promotes a lot of fun school activities and events. I would say campus food is great too. They offer fast food restaurants like Chinese food or taco bell and dominos. If i'm not interested in fast food then they also offer cooked meals in the cafeteria, where they serve a really good breakfast burrito. Cal State San Bernardino also has a upstairs bar! Most of the professors for general classes are also good and some are straight to the point where as long as I get my work done I will pass the class. Professors that are more in my biology however, are a bit tougher on students and expect high expectation, which is understood for a biology major. Overall I would say my experience at Cal State San Bernardino was a great time socially and educationally.
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!
