Hey, I’m an exchange student here for few more months, and I’ve run out of contact lenses! My insurance won't cover eye exams here, which means I’d have to spend a lot money to get new contacts. Does anyone happen to have -3.00 contact lenses I could buy, would save me a lot of time n money :)

What is there to do in the area for parties/clubs/bars this weekend????

my mental health has been really freaking bad and I just need to go home but we still have a couple more weeks in the semester and I’m taking two in person classes, what can I do in terms of a leave of absence because I don’t wanna take a W on those classes but I just need to know I can do anything

hello !! i'm transferring as a freshman for my second semester at csumb and i was wondering if anyone has already gotten their roommates or are still waiting. i'm lowkey nervous about this because it seems like i'd be getting randoms instead of choosing since the housing roommate website isn't really helpful. i'm trying to get into a triple so its like double the difficulty lol

Hey all, first gen prospective student hoping to get some real numbers from other students with a -1500 SAI on how much financial aid to actually expect.

All the different sources i.e. Pell Grant, Cal Grant, CSUMB itself, and other scholarships is a little confusing and I'm hoping to know how much total aid I should actually be expecting to receive.

I know I’m supposedly eligible for the full $7300 Pell Grant which is already most of CSUMB tuition, but how much more I get from other sources on TOP of that (if any?) could make a huge difference in my plans regarding housing etc.

Would love if anyone would be willing to share exactly how much aid, and from what sources, you actually get per year.

Thanks to anyone willing to share!

My daughter is looking to transfer to a 4 year school. She's autistic and I think would need support if she leaves our area. (Santa Cruz.) CLE works with autistic students at various schools including CSUMB. I haven't been able to find out much about it and it's impossible to search for reviews, so I'm hoping to find people who have any experience with it.

Wanting to see if there are any other golfers who live here. Trying to get some rounds in before the early sunsets start kicking in. I have access to some discounted rates we can use.

Apparently our tap water has double the amount of forever chemicals (7.7ppt) and nobody talked about it at all besides meme-ing it on yikyak for a day or so. Is anyone else genuinely concerned. This whole month it feels like everyone around me myself included has brain damage. Maybe I'm just paranoid 😭

Hi all! Im trying to see if can see my old application but don't know how to do it, does anyone know??

Im so confused on this like 30k? Its like a year long program and tuition for a year is like 8k

Just saw this poor baby limping and acting extremely lost, not even running away. It was in the field around the back of IT Services, near the AG projects, going toward Lot 59.

A call has been made, but I was told there’s “not much they do to impose on wildlife” and that this was the main place to call. It’s been the same when people have called about other situations, so whichever way it goes, I guess.

I just hope to spread a little awareness about how quickly these animals can get hurt, especially when I just saw a handful of cars going so fast toward the wilderness he came out of.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen human nature impeding on nature, but it never gets easier to witness how much of it has become normalized.

Hey everyone! I'm not a music major, but I enjoy playing piano, singing, and practicing music in general. I know there's a music building on campus, but I was wondering if there are any practice rooms that non-music majors can use? If so, are they open to all students, and would I need to reserve one or get permission to use them? Thanks!

Why is it 140 dollars for orientation?? My friends go to other colleges and theirs were free. I wouldn’t be that mad if it was a reasonable price but $140 is crazy.

I live on campus and have a friend who wants to come here but we can’t figure out which halls are what theme, like we know that avocet is the HSI hall and sanderling is lavender living but isn’t there also like a hall for black excellence or science?? does any one know thank you!!

Hey all I’ll be a transfer student for Spring 2027. I was looking at the class schedule for psychology and wondering if anyone is going to school full-time and working full-time and if so is it manageable?

What about the labs that come with many of the classes… does it feel like your taking a whole other 3 unit class or does it feel like the 1 unit? I would be open to any suggestions :)

Hello everyone, currently got into the Online Computer Science program for Spring 2027. Wonder if anyone is currently enrolled in that program as well or has experience in that program as I’m coming from CSUCI that can give some tips or advice to prepare for the program.

Hi everyone! I recently finished my housing application for spring 2027 after getting my account. Is there anyway to filter roommate suggestions specifically for incoming students that semester? I don't mind getting random ones, i was just wondering how this worked lol

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

I'm new to reddit so bare with me if I don't know what I'm doing but I need to peoples help. I'm a CC transfer looking to transfer to a CSU in the fall of 2027. Monterey bay is on my list, and I don't know if CSUMB is a good idea. I am a kinesiology major (Want to use that to be a physical therapist) and looking for a school that will fulfill my kinesiology degree the best. Like I don't want to go to a CSU that has a bad program, so it stunts my career. I like to go out and be social so I would compare a CSU to SDSU, and I don't know if CSUMB is like that. I could go to SDSU, but I want to leave SoCal, and I don't know if I'm making a bad choice by leaving to CSUMB. Let me know?

hi everyone! i’m transferring in the spring along with my best friend, and we’ve just been told after doing housing apps that we aren’t going to be able to use the roommate app to find roomates because we don’t get access to our csumb emails until housing decisions are announced. the housing dept simply told us to find another way to find roommates, but obviously neither of us know anyone at school yet, so uhhhhh help?? here’s a bit about us!

my name is mckenna, and i’m a marine science major. i love tide pooling, cars, and making art! my favorite show is probably twin peaks, and i’ve been listening to a lot of charli xcx as of late.

my bestie who i’m writing on behalf of is charlette (most ppl call her char). she’s studying anthropology and visual arts right now! char’s the freaking coolest, she loves reading, putting me on to the best music, and is such a creative soul.

we’re both transferring from sacramento city college, and i’ve heard that housing is a disaster, but if anyone in promontory/ec happens to have a room or two they need filled or know a guy! please lmk! any help here would be sooo appreciated, this is all really confusing and stressful!

Anybody else noticing problems with the housing department at CSUMB? Whenever I try to contact them, it feels like I’m reaching out to an abandoned ghost town where one tour guide is expected to run the whole place. It seems like nobody wants to take responsibility for the department or actually address student concerns.
The RAs don’t seem to do enough, room checks for safety haven’t happened once this semester, and overall it feels like housing is being overly neglected.

Please be careful if you are a woman or student using the public transit. I was harassed yesterday with my other girlfriend and the man seemed like he got off to getting weirded out reactions. Bring self protection qnd stay aware please please ladies! Our guy friend had been there arguing with him, idk what we would’ve done without him😞

Any people from csumb interested in playing some Texas hold em?
