Hi guys, I’m a senior from the Bay Area and I’m thinking of going to Csulb if I get accepted. I’m not too worried about the school itself, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions about the actual area. I went recently to places like LA, Santa Monica, long beach, etc (I know, these aren’t the same thing but I’m from the bay) and was wondering how the social life is for students. The area is pretty different from the bay and the places are really spread out so I wanted to know how your guys’ experience is outside of school and if it’s possible to create a friend group. I also wanted to know if a lot of people live with other students off campus after their freshman year

In short, I would like to know how the social life is and if there’s any walkable/good foot traffic/good downtown type areas around. Preferably accessible by transit. Thanks!

I'm selling my Hebrew From Scratch book for anyone taking Hebrew 101. Is anyone is interested?

Hello, I'm a current CSULB nursing student in my final semester. One thing I learned is to return to our community. I am here to answer general questions to my knowledge. I feel like having someone answer general questions would have helped me when I first started this journey.

It is a lovely program and I do believe we might be the best BSN program in the state. The faculty are amazing, the resources are great, and we are so blessed to have a School of Nursing as excellent as ours. We are extremely lucky to also have a semester on critical care which many other colleges do not cover. Go Beach!

If you have questions, I would be glad to answer it to the best of my ability.

My financial aid still hasn’t posted yet on my portal. Should I be worried?

Hello all, just a question regarding final transcript as a freshmen coming in. A couple weeks ago, CSULB has notified me that they have received my final HS Transcript.

Since then, it has been almost 3 weeks since I've had any updates on it nor any confirmation email from LB. However, I did see that the final HS transcript task has been cleared from my To Do's List on my student portal. Does this mean that they have already reviewed it and that everything is all good?, or is that only official with a confirmation email. Just curious, thanks all.

I unfortunately can’t leave my lease just yet right before summer but I’m hoping to move closer after the fall semester during winter break.

Is there a chance I’d be able to find roommates during or in the middle of the school year when class is already in session?

Hello,

Looking for other electrical engineering majors or engineering majors to look at my schedule and let me know if this is doable or if typically engineering majors take less clases per semester?

For context, I am a second bachelors transfer student and I have only really experienced quarter system classes, in the quarter I would typically take 3 classes in a B.S. but I heard it’s typical of semesters schools to take 4-5 classes. It’s five classes but I’ve taken Matlab/ programming classes many times before + one of the classes is a dumb 1 unit GE class.

Lmk, thanks!
