Review of California State University-Bakersfield

from Lancaster, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

I love my school very much,the students and faculty are very understanding and friendly. Parking isn't bad and neither is life in the dorm. The only issue they have is the math program.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

For anyone wanting to attend, its a very nice well rounded small school for those who want to make a small transition.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The teachers always seem to give you that extra push to do better and see your advisory to make sure your on the right path to graduate and not be on academic probation within your first year.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are very helpful and fun. Most of the RA's are there when you need them,the eating times and extra food availability could be better but it saves you money and time on finding a parking space.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is good,well cooked and has a different variety everyday. A lot of people complain about the food in the dining commons because they don't give it a chance. Other places to eat are the Runner Cafe, Peet's Coffee and The Roost.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The gym,the pool and even video games in your dorm lobby are always fun. There is a marketplace in a 5 minute walk from the school that has a movie theater with 2dollar moves on Tuesday.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The school price is not bad and its good for those who want to transfer out later on.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The ponds next to the dorms are always interesting because they usually have ducks and if you get up early in the morning you can see a beautiful white Heron near the far pond.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Its a good school for kids who want to go to college but not to a huge college like CSULB or UCLA. Its very small and quiet.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

All the clubs are unique and active on campus and in the community. Being a part of these makes college more fun and you won't be in your dorm or apartment all day plus you meet a lot more people.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I don't know much about the Fraternities or Sororities, but I see them on campus. Some are very picky on whom they let in while other are very open to new people. Some solely do rely on looks then personality.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus police are always around when you need them. They patrol the dorms,the parking lot and the field ground. If you feel unsafe from walking from your classes you can call them to walk you wherever you need to go.
