    California State University - Long Beach Reviews

    My experience as a graduate student in the School of Social Work at California State University Long Beach has been positive even in the midst of a pandemic where my in-person program was moved to a completely online platform. The school recognizes various needs students have from social connectedness to technology issues to food disparities, exacerbated by a global pandemic. Faculty and staff have done very well reaching out to students and addressing these issues, providing opportunities online for students to be connected and seen in all these aspects.

    CSULB is a very nice campus! I mostly like that they are committed to environmental issues because they provide different trashes so we can sort and recycle our trash. Also, they put a lot of emphasis on diversity by celebrating foreign cultural events... Professors are always happy to help clarify something and help us succeed. Finally, there are a cinema, gym, food courts and other cool stuff on campus.
    CSULB, is a great University to attend. I enjoyed my years as an undergraduate that I applied to the same University for a graduate program. I was fortunate enough to have been accepted and cannot wait to learn new courses. The campus is great with having access to many on-campus resources that I found useful as a student in need. CSULB provides low income students the opportunity to get all the resources they need to succeed such as enrolling into the EOP program. CSULB also has on campus counseling for students who need someone to confide in and I feel so safe knowing there are people willing to help a student in need. Campus police is always present which gives you another sense of security. The student lifestyle is very active as well such as having many organizations and clubs students can join.
