California State University-Long Beach Top Questions

The parking situation-- there are only parking lots for students at the bottom of campus, so if you have classes at the top of campus, you have to walk about a mile (or take the shuttle) to class. It would have been nice to have parking all around the campus. Also, the lack of financial aid to students they consider "well-off" even when there was no financial support given from the family. Wish they could consider financial aid rewards to people who may not appear to be underpriveleged, but that are!

Figuring out women.

The most frustrating thing about my school is getting around. My school is big. Huge in fact. I think that, after UCLA, it is the biggest school in California. Because of this, there's a crrazy amount of students parking, walking, and pretty much fighting to get to class everyday. Unfortunately for students, it's difficult to get around during the first weeks of school because the parking structure fills up by nine AM on the dot, and even though our big school is wide and quite a walk to opposite sides of campus, there are no shuttles to take.

The most frustrating thing is definitely the fees, although that comes with most universities.

The most fustrating thing about CSULB is parking enforcement and parking itself. It is always a fight to find a parking spot. There have been numerous times I have been late to either class or my on-campus job because of parking. That can happen even if I am 30 minutes early. As well I think parking enforcement is worse then a general poclice officer. They gave me a ticket for not have my front license plate attached to the front of my car. I thought that was an officers job, not a student.

Nothing

The most fustrating thing is that the parking is so far away from the Art department.

There are so many options and services available that it is sometimes difficult to find exactly where to go for assistance. It is always available once you find the correct place but its a big campus and getting to and from the different locations can take up to 20 minutes.

My frustrations come from my major being impacted and not always being able to get into the classes I need to in order to graduate. Also the fact that tuition is going up does not help my situation at school or at home, I have to work more at my part time job in order to help my parents pay for my schooling.

So far, so good, the first semester of college brought me no frustrations, at all. Let's see what the second semester of freshman year brings upon.

The traffic is hectic. Arriving early is a must as CSULB is located on the highly trafficated PCH. It's probably the only "frusterating" thing, which you can only expect from a lovely campus that is situated by the beach.

The most frustrating thing about Long Beach State is definitely its lack of space for all of the students in the library and parking lots/structures. Since it is the second largest campus in California you would think that there would be enough room for the thousands of students that attend, however there are constantly cars circling the parking lots for sometimes an hour to get a spot on campus. Also, during midterms and finals, I cannot count the number of times I sat on the floor for hours because there were not enough tables or chairs.

The most frustrating thing about school is how the school lacks solidarity. What I mean is there is not enough comradery and not enough students know each other.

The most frustrating thing about my school are the tuition hikes that have been going on for the past two years. Tuition has increased and will be increasing again in the Fall 2011. With the budget cuts and tuition increase, some classes are forced to be unavailable, causing it harder for students to select classes and graduate within four years. This causes much stress among students when they cannot enroll in their required major classes.

It's primarily a coomuter school so getting invloved takes more research/ effort.

The most frunstrating thing about my school is the looong hike to get to the library.

While I attended school there, the only thing that was not pleasant was parking. Fortunately, they have added more parking spaces, free bus rides, and shuttles for more convenient ways to commute to campus.

Some classes are quite impacted so it makes getting into them difficult. When it's hard to get into a class, this can mean that graduating can take longer because you can't move on with your degree unless certain classes are taken first.

There are only two real frustrations I personally have with this school. The first is the parking situation. All of the lots are on the bottom of a very large campus and the majority of the classes are all built on the other side. However, there is always places to park and they even just built two new structures to give more space to the students. The second is that we only have one major sports team and that is our baseball team "The Dirtbags". I would love to have a football team to cheer on as well.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking and how far apart this campus is spread out. The parking lots and structures get full very fast in the mornings and stay full throughout the day. Unless you want to add another fifteen minutes to your walk, people try to find parking as close to the campus as possible. This campus is HUGE, and if you were able to find close enough parking, still getting ready for a good hike to you first class! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes!
