I have good professors who are organized and for the most part keep to their schedule. The professors will offer their free time out of class to willing make sure that you are learning the course material correctly. Most professors are understanding to the fact that you are freshmen and are adjusting to college life and the work load that comes with it. Some courses may be challenging, but you still learn a lot out of it.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I personally really like being at Cal State Long Beach. For the most part, people are really friendly. At the beginning of the semester, people will come sit at your table at breakfast, lunch, or dinner and begin to have a conversation with you. It's really not that hard making friends here. I love my group of friends and living on campus is definitely a plus. My closest groups of friends live on campus and we are always in each others' rooms doing homework or just hanging out. The campus is really large, but it's also really pretty with lots of trees. There's a beach about ten minutes away with a bus that can take you there. If you're worried about transportation, the city buses are free for all Cal State students. The Rec Center(the gym) is amazing and there's tons of different machines to use and work out on. They even have a rock climbing wall. They offer different free exercise classes for students to take.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The amount of money you spend for dorm and tuition is definitely worth it. The experiences you gain from attending Long Beach State makes it all worth while. The education you receive is worth the price of tuition. The memories you make and the friends you make definitely make it worth everything.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you look at the map before you enroll in your classes. The campus is large and you might get two classes right after the other that are no where close to one another. Some teachers are understanding, but others do get peeved when you come in late or if you leave class early. This is mostly a commuter school, so if you don't live anywhere close to the university be positive that you are okay by not going home for months at a time.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you like a laid back environment then Long Beach State would be great for you. If you like the beach, then it's definitely great for you seeing as the beach is ten minutes away. Also if you like nice warm weather for the most part then this university would be great for you.
