California State University-Fullerton Top Questions

aa

The campus is dynamic in the type of people that choose to study here. There are international students, a wide range in student ages, and individuals from all walks of life. I believe there is a LGBT club on campus, there is also christian clubs, and many other on campus clubs that are usually free to join. In my own experience I have felt left out of some opportunities, scholarships and programs due my race, which is beyond frustrating. The style of clothing varies by major, for instance kinesiology majors are more likely to wear workout clothes (due to the required PE classes), Biology majors are more likely to wear close toed shoes (a requirement in all labs), and engineering majors are more likely to wear pocket protectors (only kidding). I would venture to say that sandals are the most common type of footwear as we are in southern California. At first I couldn't imagine what a student that felt out of place at CSUF would be like, then I remembered how out of place I felt my first few weeks. So a student that would feel out of place here would be a freshman, thats the only kind of student I can imagine that would feel out of place. I have had classes with pregnant women, blind individuals, severely disabled individuals, and even seen a very attractive male amputee. The political science majors are very aware and quite active, three of my sorority sisters had job offers out of college and two moved to Washington D.C. The non-polisci majors, now I am not sure how aware or active they all are, not because it's a muted topic but because I do not pay much attention. So clearly I am not politically active. Also I am not very aware, because I couldn't tell where on the political line most of the student body stands, left, right or center. A lot of students work and go to class full time. It is incredible and inspiring to see a person so whole heartedly go after their dreams. I have had multiple classes with women who are mothers of young children, work, and go to school, they are unbelievable and I wish I could emulate their drive and balance in my own life.

This campus has a wide variety of personalities compressed into one city block. There's a bounty of foreign students studying here from the Middle East and Europe (Sweden/Germany Yes, VERY ATTRACTIVE) so I absolutely love the students. If you're lonely you can strike up a conversation with anyone waiting for a class. The people here are amazing goodhearted Orange county folk (lots of Asians too). I love the people that make up this school.

We are very diverse, we have almost all students from every ethnic background and the students are very nice and want to become successful.

My classmates are very encouraging, uplifting, and always pushing me to be the best student I can be.

My classmates are very social.

Most of the classmates I had usually kept on top of their work adn wanted to get a higher education.

Focused on school and want to help people

There is a diverse student population at Cal State Fullerton, and I think every type of student would fit in and find their niche. Student clothing differs drastically, and students wear anything from pajamas to business suits to class. Whatever you are comfortable in works for us! The majority of students are from the Southern California region, but there is an increasing population of students coming from afar to attend Cal State Fullerton.

A lot keep to themselves if they don't know you, however it depends on your major.

The dress is very casual :) Dining hall? We have Carls Jr.

CSUF has such a mix of students it's incredible! There really is every color of the rainbow represented here! No one judges on what you look like or anything, classes are always a welcoming environment. Also, most people are very casual to class! Professor don't expect you to dress professional or anything like that, you can always be comfortable so you can lear better. There is political activism on campus, especially involving tuition fees and such, but nothing has ever gotten out of hand.

The students here are extremely diverse and accepting of each other. I have never run into issues with race or sexual orientation. I have seen a couple issues arise with religion, but nothing major since this is a public school. Most people I know, however are either some for of Christian, Catholic, or don't practice religion at all. No student would feel out of place here. Financial backgrounds tend to be lower middle class/middle class. I haven't noticed a dominant political affiliation on campus, but I know that there are plenty of students who are politically active, which is always good.

Cal State Fullerton takes pride in the diversity of its students. Students at CSUF come from various economic backgrounds, ethnicity, religions, etc. Many are very accepting to those who do come from different cultures or have a difference in their sexual orientation.

CSUF encourages a diverse student body. We have all kinds of races, religions, beliefs, and enthusiasts. We have people who dress up for class, and people who wear sweats to class. We have people who live on-campus, people who live off-campus (but in a near-by complex), people who live in fraternity or sorority houses, and people who commute anywhere from 15-90 minutes. Many students are local and the racial backgrounds are listed as majority to minority: caucasian, asian, indian, other. As freshman, many students are quiet in class, but as we mature, we have much more interaction with one another.

What to finish school and get on with their lives.

My classmates provided diverse points of views from many different backgrounds and experiences.

Beginning my first semester here at Cal State Fullerton and searching for my first time classes in this institution, I felt a sense of warmth and comfort with the students surrounding me in my courses, feeling not afraid to ask them for help, I knew it was the entry of a home I was about to embark my prosperous life and career within.

Classmates were friendly, but some were not as focused or as ambitious as myself. I am extremely ambitious and it would be wrong to form a comparison.

Most of the students are not very self-motivated, but they get the job done.
