Going into college with the expectation of a significant transition from high school was indeed a major adjustment. During the first week of moving into the dorms, I disliked the experience. However, I received a basketball scholarship and accepted the opportunity. Unfortunately, I did not meet the academic requirements during my first semester, and when I discovered that I was no longer eligible to play basketball, it devastated me. However, in the following spring semester, I underwent a complete transformation, and my grades improved significantly. One aspect of Cal Maritime that I found dissatisfying was the limited food options, particularly considering the high prices we paid. Nevertheless, I recognize that each college has its own unique characteristics, and it's unlikely to find one that is perfect in every aspect. The food selection was one of the most prominent aspects that could potentially be improved.
My son enrolled at CSUM out of high school and graduated in May of 2022. We were worried that he would flounder away from home. His first semester at the school was challenging. He came home from the first semester ready to quit. He didn't like the structure of the program: the room checks, the morning assembly, the lack of female cadets, the uniform requirements, and the food. We convinced him to go back for his second semester, and everything changed. CSUM offers many intramural sports for student to get involved in. The divisions of the student body made for ready teammates for these sports. He began to thrive. He played football, softball, beach volleyball, dodgeball, and others. These teammates turned into study partners whom he could count on, and before you knew it, his grades were improving due to better study habits. He has now joined the workforce, has a great job, and is doing very well. As a parent, I would recommend the school without hesitation.
Cal Maritime University overall is an alright university, it provides us students with the interesting and unique degrees and teachings. This university specializes in teaching Maritime arts, and professionalism. As a current freshman I thought that it was going to be more militarist and strict, but it is quit lenity. overall, I think that it is beneficial academy and prepares us for our next steps into the world and helps build needed connections throughout the industry for our major. the campus is nice, and the community is inclusive within the small number of candidates that attend. even though there are a handful of people at this university the connections we are able to make here are extremely beneficial within the maritime community.
