Review of California State University-Monterey Bay
from Citrus Heights, CA
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
I am in my first semester at California State University of Monterey Bay... And I am LOVING it! I am taking 15 units this semester. All my classes are general education classes right now. I am pursuing my degree in SBS (social and behavioral sciences) with emphasis on Social Sciences. My dream is to eventually become a history teacher. CSUMB is really great at being able to help you target your goals, and they are with you every step of the way trying to reach those goals. The teachers make themselves super available, and are more than willing to give you one on one time.The class size is small so you will always be taught by the teacher, not a TA. most of the time the teacher wants you to call them by their first name which is AWESOME! They make ample time to meet with you one on one if you need to, which makes it super easy if you have any kind of question. some teachers even give you their cell number!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The social life is great as well, this school has a small town feel where even if you don't know someone, its okay to just strike up a conversation. every one is laid back and friendly, and there is always something to do whether it be a movie on Tuesday night at the world theater (it's free for students! and they play new movies that are still in the cinema!) or taking a walk down to the beach!
I love love love it here :)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
csumb is one of the cheapest CSU's in the state... who can argue with that? :)
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
MEET THE DEADLINES! fill out the fafsa, go to on a tour, go to open house, talk to people that go here!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
