California State University-Long Beach Top Questions

I personally dont like that CSULB doesn't have strong school spirit. Even though this could be because the majority of the students live off campus, I do belive a stronger school spirit would make students feel a lot more welcome and part of something bigger. We would have more of a reason to be proud of our educational institution while having the motivation to be invoved in extra curricular activites. This could be done by ecouraging more students to start their own groups and pursue the things that interest them.

The worst part of the school is probably how crowded the studying areas can get. If you don't grab a seat soon, at about noon students start filling up spots in the library and Horn Center pretty quickly.

The food at the dining hall could be better and fresher. It is a HUGE campus, and takes more than 15 minutes to walk to each class.

One of the things I find most challenging about my campus is that my race is the minority, we are 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. I often times feel like we are secretly segragated. Due to I have been attending this university for 3 years, and can count on two hands, how many caucasion friends I have. It can be difficult to attend a school where often times you are the only black female in a class, speaking on issues of cultural beliefs and so on.

The worst thing about my school is that it is a commuter school. Not a lot of people are interested in making friends because they leave cmapus directly after class. It would be nice if the campus wasn't located directly in the middle of a huge intersection also, it makes for a lous, noisy environment.

To be honest I haven't attend therefore I can not give a proper answer, but I do know that I am very excited to become a part of it and learn from it as I go.

The Cal State system received the lowest funding from the state after the UC and community college system. The 30 or so CSU campuses had to split this funding. No matter how on track students tried to be, it was hard to get out of school in 4 years due to classes being unavailable.

CSULB lacks in school pride and unity. At such a big school, it is easy to understand that it is hard to unite students. The school has a diverse range of students-age, race, creed, gender, background, family situation, financial situation; there are many different people. Most students don't have time to support their school with lots of spirit. Most students at CSULB are there soley for a degree and are looking to quickly get out. This can be a bit of a bummer for the kids looking for a real college experience.

I consider parking to be the worst thing at my school because even though California State University, Long Beach, has a lot of parking lots, all the student parking lots are located in the far back of the school. All of the closer spots to the school always fill up early, so if you want a good parking space, you need to wake up early for it.

since is a communite school, there is usually anybody during the weekend

Homework! It takes up so much time

The worst thing about CSULB is also the best thing. I hated walking the mile from the parking lot at one end of campus to the complete opposite end where my classes were. However, the walk help me to stay in shape and provided beautiful scenery. Everyday I traveled past colorful flowers, sculptures, a bell tower ringing out melodies, eucalyptus shade trees, interesting and original architecture, and wild rabbits and cats that made CSULB their home. The walk and the scenery

I would not be the greatest critique because I am transferring into CSULB and have not had the full experience. Based on the visits and what I ahve seen is the fact that the campus is so big you might want to pick up a scooter or a skateboard to wheel around.

As of now, absolutely nothing. I love the way my school is. It has a wonderful diversion of people from many different parts of the world and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Parking

Students who attend CSULB face a difficult challenge with finding jobs on campus. Students face this challenge because most jobs are offered to students who are a part of the federal work-study program. A majority of students do not have federal work-study and cannot find jobs on campus.

The school website is quite complicated and difficult to navigate successfully. I usually end up "Googling" my way to whatever page I need because it is much easier.

The campus is completely dead on weekends which is terrible for someone who lives on campus. There is nothing to do, especially if you don't have a car!

The amount of traffic coming to school. CSULB feels like a commuter school if you do not live in the dorms.

I wish my college was not a commuter school. I wish that the living situation would be more like the UC's where the city is based off of the college. It has been fun living in Long Beach, and knowing all the students that live around me, but I know that most people drive to school, so meeting with these students and building friendships is much harder since distance is a factor. But other than that, I am still satisfied with my situation.
