My first year was all online due to COVID. I had extremely supportive and accommodating professors. The workload was very doable, just make sure to communicate with your professors whenever you miss something or do not understand.
In my second year, I lived in the on-campus apartments. It is fairly regulated on campus, and people can be shy but is a very safe and healthy environment. Everyone loved their RA's because they were so sweet.
My third year was living in campus-affiliated apartments, which was amazing. You have more freedom, but can still walk to school.
The campus is very large which means there are endless opportunities for students. We have some of the best departments regarded in the state with some of the most reputable professors. Join clubs as well! Being part of clubs with your interests and meeting new people that way completely changes your college experience. It is the easiest way to connect with people! There are several food places on campus and the gym is big!

I had a great experience attending CSUF for my last two years of college. I transferred from a community college and the process was very smooth. The broadcast journalism program that CSUF has is truly state of the art. We learned how to use Premiere and Final Cut Pro, and were able to direct, produce, write and broadcast shows live. The program prepares you adequately for the world of broadcast journalism, with the professors there to guide you every step of the way. CSUF.com
The parking, especially when taking evening classes, can be difficult to navigate. Overall, CSUF is a great school I would recommend to students, especially as a commuter school.

Being a commuter student, it's definitely hard to open up to people and make friends. But the professors here are extremely helpful. If they see you struggling, they will make it a point to talk to you and understand what you're going through and help you out best they can. My first semester here I was taking a HCOM class and I was TERRIFIED to speak in front of others so I was struggling with my speeches and wouldn't show up when I had to present, so I would email my professor and let her know my situation and she would personally help me. She would schedule zoom meeting with me and have me practice my speeches with her and give me feedback, where I can improve. Finally, on the last day of class I was the last person to give my speech and I gave my speech with little to no stuttering and I wasn't nervous at all, all thanks to my professor! Thank you.
