I am currently a
junior at CSULA. Although my time on campus has been limited due to COVID-19, I got a pretty good sense about the campus and the environments there. The clubs are super welcoming, the food options are great, & the EOP (equal opportunities program) is an AMAZING program that I feel super grateful to be a part of. They’ve made my college experience so much easier! Overall CSULA is a really easy going college campus that isn’t too stressful , but maintains its 4 year responsibilities in student
development.

My time here at CSULA has been good! Nothing
special which is why I’m a bit bummed about campus life. I feel as if since its a commuter school, nothing really happens here. Just school and home. When college should be more than that! A place to find yourself and discover new things. CSULA maybe isn’t the best place for that besides education.
Something
I like about CSLA is how accepting to low-income first-generation students and affordable tuition. Something I would like to see change is appropriate funding for resources that would benefit students, not faculty or staff since we are here to support THE STUDENTS!
