Review of California State University-Channel Islands
from Hawthorne, CA
Describe your college in three sentences.
CSUCI is a great University because the staff and faculty try to get to know their students. Classrooms are very small and you are able to get a lot of one-on-one time with your professors. CSUCI is also very known for its beautiful campus, it is surrounded by mountains and very close to the beach.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-Always asks questions during lectures.
-Go to office hours if you need or have any additional questions, it also doesn't hurt to get to know your professors.
-Join a club, become active on campus!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Professors are very passionate in their fields and are always willing to go an extra mile to help their students as much as they can. Of course, classes always get harder but CSUCI has all the resources a students needs in being able to succeed.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I lived in the dorms my freshman year and it was an amazing year. I always recommend to all incoming freshman to live on campus because it's such a great experience. It gives students a chance to get to know each other and the dorms at CSUCI are awesome.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Every student who lives on campus receives a meal card and are able to purchase food at the cafeteria and other food places on campus. Our cafeteria is great. We have all kinds of foods, drinks, and desserts. And it is also an all you can eat cafeteria.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I like having game nights with some friends and we also enjoyed going to the pool area. CSUCI also has game rooms with pool tables and all sorts of entertainment games including xbox and ps3 consoles.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
CSUCI also has a great brand new library. It is such a beautiful building, it is almost made entirely of glass. Anywhere you stand in the library you can see outside. It's amazing! We also have a great database for research, so if you need to find journal reviews or case studies, you will always find something there.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Our campus is very open to different types of celebrations. We have many clubs that honor traditions. For example, MECHA and the art club always come together for Dia De Los Muertos and create such beautiful retablos and altars.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many clubs at CSUCI, we even has a sailing club.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We have one sorority and I do not know so much about them but I know that they do a lot of community services and host many events on campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Excellent. We have officers always patrolling the campus all day and night. And there are also many emergency poles everywhere, you click on the button and the on campus police respond within 3 minutes.
