California State University-San Marcos

This is my second year at CSUSM and I'm love with my school. Ever since the orientation day the staff and student organization made me feel welcome. They showed me the school, the library, the cafeteria, the bookstore, the labs and the buildings around the school, good enough to not get lost on the first day or week. Professor are amazing! They know what they are doing and since is a small school with small classes we get to know really well the instructor and the other way around.

California State University San Marcos is a great school with a lot of students. however, many of the classes remind me of being in High school because they are usually very small with about 30 to 40 students this in turn makes the transition from high school to university less scary. Having less students also makes it easier to communicate with the professor and studies show that its a lot easier to learn in a small class. In addition, the professors and staff are usually very helpful and educated in their subjects.The school also has a 5-floor library with many resources from famous literary pieces such as In the Time of The Butterflies by Julia Alvarez in the fourth floor to an array of computers in the second floor. The five-floor library also offers a Math Lab, and Language Learning center. the Math Lab is a place in the first floor a student can go to if they are having difficulty in math, here they will have plenty of tutors and some professors ready to assist you. The Language Learning center is also located in the first floor and here a student can submit and essay for revision and advice on what he/she can write next. They also offer tutoring in the English language and literature. So, there is plenty of help if a student needs help in these areas;furthermore, if a student needs help in another subject then he/she can go visit the professor during their office hours and they are always willing to help.

the quality of the education really depends on the professor. I've had some GREAT professors and some not so great professors. Overall though, most of the professors really care about you as a student and are willing to help you in any way

The teachers at CSUSM make sure you go deep in your learning. Their tests and exams help with making sure you do. A lot of teachers make learning fun by thier exercises they have the class do. They encourage study sessions and if you have have a question office hours is where you should go.

a majority of the majors at cal state san marcos are impacted- such as the nursing and business programs. overall, the classes and professors themselves have high expectations and standards, and are all willing to help you succeed. the classes are tougher once you enter your upper-division courses. it's always a plus to visit your professor's office hours and utilize other resources on campus such as the stem and writing center.

CSUSM has wonderful programs for students who are pursing business or nursing majors. The campus life is friendly and there are tons of activities to get involved. The resources and academic counseling offered by CSUSM is extensive.

Its a good smaller, mainly commuters school. Its nice for most majors except for nursing. Planning to major in anything else and you'll be fine. Nursing and Kinesiology are both impacted and you need to have the highest grades to make it in.

California State University is a very open, welcoming and relatively small school. The professors and the students become like a family to you while you experience college life. The campus is also very active in helping its students to do more than they are required, to reach out and be involved.

Prof. are great and well educated, they are really committed to the students education. The campus, although a commuter campus, has a great community scene and has many opportunities to get involved and develop not only character but leaderships as well. There is always classes to choose from, even when sections are closed as long as you are on top of it, you can usually crash and get into the course.

CSUSM is a fantastic school! I am a transfer student and this is my first semester at this school, and I absolutely love it here. They have a wonderful campus, fantastic programs and great teachers.
