Review of California State University-Channel Islands
from La Verne, CA
Describe your college in three sentences.
CSU Channel Islands is nestled in mountains, and just across teh way from a beach; it has small class sizes and a great atmosphere. There is a large sense of community here. Certain programs are better than others, but all in all its a great school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Purchase your texts books the first week of class you will find some professors don't use them.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The professors are probably the best part of the school. Like all schools there are some easy professors and some hard professors but the balance at this school is good. Every professor I have had in the last year was really helpful and pretty nice. they honestly want to help you and want you to succeed, and they work really hard for us as students.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The employees are very helpful, and teh R.A.s are on top of things. There is always events and fun things to do. There are events that happen the same time every week, like craft making and cocoa and board games for example, there is also tutoring Tuesdays. there are also events hosted by R.A.s and they are different all the time, sometimes they are a sport activity or a craft. also it was alot easier to make friends. I love living on campus.
