Review of California State University-San Marcos

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am a commuter student so when I'm at school, I'm in class. I'm not involved in any clubs or anything because I commute to school then return home for work. So I can't really say anything about life on campus

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

Tuition is about $2,400 which is incredibly cheap for a university. Definitely get a good education for a good price

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1. Try to be a paid note taker in a class if you can because then you get priority registration 2. Take the computer skills requirement tests your first semester so you don't get a hold on your account. 3. Rent don't buy your textbooks for the first year or two, chances are they aren't going to be books you'll want to keep

Which types of students will excel at your college?

1. students who can't afford a private university 2. students who want to save money 3. students who live in San Diego county and want to commute 4. future teachers
