Arlena, CSU LA Sophomore's Review

Review of California State University-Los Angeles

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am a Biology major here, and although Cal State LA isn't a private school you do get very hands on with the professors. As long as you pay attention in class, take the time to study and talk to your professors during their office hours you will learn a lot.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There's much to enjoy on campus. From school sanctioned events to sports games, or even the Greek life on campus, or joining a club, there is always something to do on campus.

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

Although, tuition has been going up due to the budget crisis. Cal State LA still remains one of cheap California State Universities. So if your also focusing on cost when applying to colleges it's a place to consider.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prospective students should utilize all resources CSULA has to offer for freshman. I recommend getting into the Early Opportunity Program (EOP). This program gives you priority registration and also a grant.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students on a budget, not to far from the Los Angeles area willing to commute, like a lively and diverse campus, live in LA and don't want to go to far, and/or students who are looking for a good education.
