REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI have learned a lot in the 10 weeks that I have attended so far. The class sizes are nice, and I haven;t had much trouble getting the classes that I want. I have done well my first quarter, and I think I owe credit to CSUEB for that,
Brittni from Riverside, CA
At this school i have been learning a lot. Students just need to know their priorities and not procrastinate on their work. If student do their homework and pay attention in class, school will go by fast and you will absolutely pass the class with a top notch grade.
Edwin from Chula Vista, CA
The professors are all extremely caring about your studies and your overall well-being, and encourage you to visit them outside of class if you need help on anything. Class sizes are typically very small, so you can get more one-on-one attention if you have questions about anything. There's a good variety of classes to take for GEs, so aside from the very specific ones (like taking public speaking, math, and English classes), you can take more interesting classes for your GE credits, such as American Indian Oral Literature (definitely worth taking, by the way).
Shaylyn from Modesto, CA
If you get the right teachers, you can learn a lot from the them here. I have also learned a lot of things outside of the classroom, that I would have never learned if I hadn't attended this school.
Aaran from Pasadena, CA
well i actually go to the smaller campus in concord but i know that the hayward campus is really big, and the classes are pretty huge but its a great school. there are a lot of fun clubs you can join there and there are a lot of activities to do over there. its a very lively campus.
Kelly from Antioch, CA
The best thing at CSUEB is its cluster program. It is helpful in so many ways, by helping you meet people, to starting you off in a good route for the next upcoming years. The professors there are really helpful as long as you seek help.
Misael from Los Angeles, CA
They are a good school so far from what I've seen. They don't return phone calls that much, so you will have to just keep calling them. Last, but not least they have a very positive attitude on campus.
Laurice from Rialto, CA
east bay is very diverse which always creates a fun experience. the students are each surrounded by different cultures, backgrounds and different perspectives, so it's very interesting to observe and talk to different students. the professors are amazing at what they do, which makes the learning experience at east bay rich and worthwhile; students want to go to class.
Korinne from Menlo Park, CA
Most of the professors put pride into their duties as your instructor. They will take the time to get to know each student, and the small class sizes help. The professors will give you the effort that you give them.
Emily from Salinas, CA
There are ten weeks a quarter. Despite the small class size, it is beneficial for student because it gives the student the opportunity to build a strong relationship with their professors and fellow classmates.
