Review of California State University-San Bernardino
from San Bernardino, CA
Describe your college in three sentences.
san bernardino is a great campus filled with caring staff and teachers. we have great majors that have won awards, like our business program for example. also, our beautiful campus provides us with many opportunities to lie out on the grass and study or have a picnic with friends.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
use ratemyprofessor.com before you chose your classes so you can get a heads up on how the class is structured and what other students felt about the professor after the quarter. i have used this website for 3 years and it has helped me countless times. also, procrastination is a big issue when you’re in college, especially since san bernardino is quarters not semesters. so in order to stay on top of your assignments and tests, make sure you either have a calendar or schedule book, so you can make sure you have not missed any due dates.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
some courses are, of course, more rigorous than others especially if you are going into science. however, what is great about san bernardino is that all professors teach and if they have an assistant, they will usually just pass back assignments or help the professor grade assignments/papers. also, teachers have office hours so if you are ever stuck or lost about something you saw/heard in lecture, you can go in and ask them about it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
i have lived in the dorms for three years and it has been a great experience so far. my freshman year was the best since you are surrounded by people your same age (and sometimes older) who are just as nervous as you are. all our housing staff is very friendly and the resident assistants plan great events for their residents. every year, welcome week has great events that range from a bbq to karaoke. housing even gives academic awards to residents who have a 3.0 and above.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
i love the food at san bernardino. we have a very good cooking staff in the commons and they make both healthy and delicious food daily. they are now selling food on the weekends which is very nice if you do not know how to cook and want to eat a healthy and delicious meal. also, we do have a starbucks, taco bell, denny’s express etc. if you like fast food, and need caffeine after a long night of studying.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
we have many different clubs, organizations on campus and in the student union there are centers that offer fun and interesting events during the year. for instance, the lgbt center has a yearly drag queen event that has receives rave reviews every year. also, famous comedians and musicians come to our school to perform. for example, anjelah johnson and many more have come to our school; and as students, we get discounted tickets to see their shows.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
we have a lot of clubs, ranging from your major's club to clubs that are more hobby based like the anime club. the student union has many great events and they put up various posters and flyers advertising those events.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
we have a very dedicated police force on campus and they patrol from morning to night. also, we have many blue phones around campus in case something happens to you and when you press the button, a police officer will come quickly to help you out. however, i feel safe walking around on campus and have never worried about being hurt or robbed.
san bernardino is a great campus filled with caring staff and teachers. we have great majors that have won awards, like our business program for example. also, our beautiful campus provides us with many opportunities to lie out on the grass and study or have a picnic with friends.
