Review of California State University-San Bernardino

from San Diego, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This is my second year in Cal State San Bernardino and I love it here. The teachers are good enough to care about your education and are available when you need them. They always give you their office hours which lets me know that they welcome us whenever we may have questions. We have a quarter system here in San Bernardino that makes the year go by really quick. Although we are cramming all the information in a ten week period, the teachers makes sure we have anything we need to pass the course. I love the quarter system because it makes the year go by faster but I do not like that we are on a strict schedule. I love most of the teachers I've had but of course not all universities are perfect there are some that slip.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is friendly people everywhere! You can make friends by making conversations with the people who sit around you in class. Everyone in class is young and is living the college experience, everyone wants friends. So you must not be shy because theres always people to meet in Cal State San Bernardino. CSUSB also has great activities every week. From music or drama performances, to political activities. There are clubs and organizations involving volunteer work and always meeting new people! Although there are not many things to do outside school, meeting all those people in activities has the potential of always having something to do with someone. San Bernardino is also located not so far from awesome attractions like Knotts Berry Farm, Six Flags, Universal Studios, Disneyland, and even Big Bear, where you can go snowboarding and skiing in the winter. The weather in San Bernardino is really great as well it is warm in the summer and spring but it gets very windy sometimes. So windy that there has been occasions where they must close the school for the day(s).

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

Going to CSUSB is not as expensive as other CSU's and it is a great environment to experience. The campus is small, but really beautiful and green. You can see the mountains in the background and in the winter you can see the mountains with snow. The people are friendly and active and the teachers really care about my education. I am from San Diego, so I came two hours away to a new place to meet new people and start somewhere new; and so far it has been one of my best experiences yet.
