California State University-Northridge Top Questions

This campus caters to all types of students. It has been noted that CSUN is a commuter school, and I tend to agree. Many of the students maintain full-time jobs, while they pursue their educational goals. Some people, when looking for a campus, look for a campus with a long sports tradition, if you are, don't go to CSUN. Although we have sport teams (No football), we are not very spirited. Come to CSUN if you are looking for a great education, from great professors, in a great city.

Commuter school, little else is around it that is interesting, traffic is bad around it, parking is a pain

Someone who doesn't like a diverse campus. Someone who is looking for a social active campus with greek life. This is a commuter school and works fantastically for that purpose.

Anyone that wants to go into nursing should probably find a different school to attend. That is one of the few majors that isn't offered here. There is a health major and someone could take some prerequisites but it would be better just to start somewhere else. There is no football team here either so anyone wanting to play football should go somewhere else.

everyone is welcome

Someone who wants a real college experience with dorming and living separately from home should not attend this school.

A person who slacks often. In other words, it is very difficult to get back on top of your work load once you've fallen behind. A lazy or unmotivated person shouldn't go to CSUN

Someone with racist beliefs. Also, someone who knows no one coming to the school and isn't interested in joining a social organization or club such as a fraternity or sorority.

The type of person who should attend Cal State Northridge should be a person who is goal oriented and is willing to learn and who can accept diversity from all walks of life. A person who is willing to mature as an adult and take on the responsibility of not always having parents around to guide and help out when needed.

One that needs lots of attention and likes small communities. Someone who doesn't make friends easily or adapt to things easily should choose another type of school.
