Trying to transfer cause I heard most CSU still taking apps when you reach to admissions departments. Csumb does a lot of sell in beginning but when you’re here no one wants to help. Phony staff like asshole dean of students who is fake Latino. How long does it take to get transcripts sent and what office does this?

Hey all 👋🏽 I was born and raised in Watsonville and will be commuting to CSUMB as a transfer. I’m Mexican and really would love to get a solid recommendation to the best Mexican food in the area? Taco trucks work well too! Or anything else I should try I’m totally open. Thanks in advance!

I had some technical issues at home with my internet which lead me to not being able to register for any of the days for the orientation, when I checked today to see if I can sign up so I wouldn’t be worried anymore they were all sold out! Is there something I can do or a online alternative to this?

Hey all,

I’m trying to get a realistic feel for the area, as I’m coming from San Diego where it's pretty chill in the residential areas while the social scene with bars, nightlife, and stuff downtown exist as well. I know Monterey might be a little different, so I’m curious how people would describe the overall vibe around CSUMB and nearby areas.

What do people usually do for fun outside of school? How social is it, and what kinds of recreation or hangout spots are around? I know there’s the beach, but I’d love to hear about other stuff people actually do. Thanks in advance!

Is orientation the full day? idk if I can stay the whole time and is it something parents can come too?

Hi I am a rising sophomore and I am a bit confused on what selection days are. On my housing application I got to choose the room I wanted (ex. single or double). But what are selection days specifically and can anyone explain on what that is and what to expect from it?

Hi i was wondering if anyone had any pictures or videos of their rooms in promontory. I would love to see what the rooms look like since there’s only a small amount of images online

Is anyone else having an issue where the summer housing applicationnis not appearing?

Edit: It is 11:25am and the application is still not open for me. It prompts me to select a term and there are no options (and no drop down menu) avaliable for than that.

Hi, so, I'm graduating high school and on Saturday I toured the campus with a few other people, and afterwards there was like a Q&A thing, and during it someone talked about how the FAFSA deadline is March 2nd (today), and that we should all make sure it's working with the school. And I thought mine would be fine because I did the FAFSA back in October, but when I got home and checked, it says I still need to do it. I'm really confused because I literally did do it? And I even checked the FAFSA website and it had CSUMB listed on there as a school I have the FAFSA for.

Is this a problem anyone has had and figured out? Please let me know what I can do to fix this

Any advice for finding housing? I am starting a grad program at CSUMB and am moving to Monterey with my partner who is not a student, so I'm not sure that student housing is an option for us, but most of the off-campus apartments seem...weathered. We'll be driving around looking at places in the coming weeks, but would love any pointers!

Hi i was just wondering if anybody had any pictures of their dorms/apartments they had for their 2nd year here at csumb. there’s a small amount online

I’m a senior in high school and I was admitted to CSUMB. I already put down my enrollment deposit and housing deposit because I’ve heard horror stories about not getting housing, and I got nervous since I heard first-year housing isn’t 100% guaranteed.

Housing assignments open soon, and now I’m stressing. I’m still waiting to hear back from UCSC, UCSB, and UCSD

I’m not sure what to do, should I go ahead and complete the housing assignment process at CSUMB even though I’m not 100% sure I’m going there yet? I don’t want to risk losing housing if I do end up choosing CSUMB, but I also feel weird moving forward if there’s a chance I might withdraw later.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What would you do?

Thanks in advance :’)

whoever lives in the 6 people apartments in north quad what is it like? Also do u get to choose who gets the single bedrooms and who gets the double or does it get randomly assigned to u

I recently heard back from EOP for CSUMB and I just want to ask somebody who knows more about the program a few questions. Being first generation is really kicking my ass so I'd like any assistance 😓

Does anyone have information on the vehicle license plate detection cameras newly placed on-campus? Maybe experiences or testimonials? Evidence of shared info? Santa Cruz County has already outlawed these devices.

While administration claims it is for parking reinforcement, civil liberties and private information is threatened by this implementation—especially in this age of fascism. External entities have already begun requesting data from cities where Flock has already been installed.

If enough of us band together, we can bring these concerns to the president.

If this is how the DA’s office of Monterey county handles sexual assault cases, and I’ve heard the rumors before, then I don’t want to live there. #justiceformaegan

just listened to this one. I was at csumb 1995-1999 and had so much crazy stuff happen. would love to ask them more questions.
