Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I am starting to see more and more diversity. A lot of students on campus are working toward making this school a top learning facility.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
CalstateLA is not expensive compared to other schools but does not sell itself short due to the non-expensive tuition.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
BEFORE getting any classes talk to a counselor of your major, if you are undeclared we have general counselors for undecided majors located in the library Palm wing B.
-Get a Planner and write down EVERYTHING, work schedule, classes, chores, time to study, meetings and deadlines for classes.
-If you are undecided, go to your local library and check out a couple of books on Majors. Or the field you might be interested in. They usually list the years of schooling, degree required, type of place you will work in, competitiveness, salary and stress level.
-Take advantage of the Writing Center, Career center, Tutoring, Research assistance, library, Financial aid office ect. Making appointments is easy and most of the time bumps up your paper up one letter grade
-Its never too early to start looking in to internships that you might be interested in
-Join an organization on campus. Since this is a commuting campus, its hard meet new people and stay in touch. Joining an organization is fun and beneficial because you start networking for future jobs and maybe even make a couple of good friends. It gives you another reason to get up in the morning and want to go to school.
