California State University Long Beach

Beautiful college campus in the heart of Long Beach. The campus classroom buildings all have different characteristics from those that are modern to those that still have vintage aesthetic qualities to them. The campus is packed with students but the area and space is vast enough to feel comfortable while walking to and from classes. Everyone looks focused and ready to learn! There are many food options situated all across campus and the cafeteria I ate at had ample space for all the students to sit and relax in between classes.

My son did his MS here for two years. We couldn't see his university when he was studying and on his convocation in 2020 because of covid. So we decided to visit it now. The campus is so vast some say over 200 acres...that my son drove us through the university. Beautiful layout, the Japanese garden and the pyramid are landmarks of the university. As a state university it's very affordable. There are lots of student housing around. There are different sections of university for each branch of learning with huge buildings. The long beach bus service is free for students. According to my son the staff is great and so are the classes. Student recreation center and medical facilities free for students. My son enjoyed learning in this university and we were impressed to see it.....👌🏼👌🏼🙂🙂👍🏻

CSULB is an excellent university with highly knowledgeable professors and outstanding counselors. I gained valuable insights throughout my time here, particularly in the Criminal Justice program. The faculty's support and emphasis on time management and academic effort significantly shaped my educational experience. However, I did face serious challenges with the Veteran Services department. I advise any veteran utilizing GI Bill benefits to proceed with caution. Despite receiving approval from academic counselors—including written confirmation that certain courses aligned with my program—Veteran Services denied coverage because the courses were not explicitly listed in the academic program. As a result, I had to pay for some courses out of pocket. Moreover, communication with Veteran Services was consistently delayed (months delayed) Important inquiries often went unanswered until the end of the semester, which caused avoidable stress and uncertainty. While I would have gladly given a five-star rating, my experience with Veteran Services was disappointing. Unfortunately, veterans may not receive the support they need and can feel overlooked in the process. I recommend Veterans to really look into the veteran services before enrolling.

The best decision of my life is to pursue a Graduate Degree in Computer Science from this University. I feel like it's the best place to study because it opens up to travel more. Trekking and Beach Side both are accessible and super amazing with friends and family.

One of the best places around Los Angeles. I did my masters in Computer Science from the university. It is a very diverse. The campus is excellent. The campus is smoking free and supports economic and green life. Not too many words but its a good place to go to and would recommend.

My experience at CSULB as an international student: —I majored in Studio Art so I spent a lot of time in the studio and outside just to look at the nature for inspiration. — CSULB has a beautiful campus with people from all over the world. School of Art is on upper campus. So it’s a bit of a walk from students parking. — I had the opportunity to work at the pyramid, a state of the art volleyball/ basketball facility. Really interesting building! — International department is helpful but it seems like they are overloaded. — All the advisor are helpful and willing to work with you, so I really appreciate that. Thanks CSULB for having me!

Gorgeous campus. Friendly helpful staff to get u around campus. Cant wait for my daughter to attend this Fall 2023 for their Fashion design program. GO BEACH!!

20180915_SAT-SAMSUNG_1252|1256PT What a nice ENVIRONMENT to pursue EDUCATION. A place where TECHNOLOGY and NATURE, coexist in HARMONY. Not a STUDENT, but this UNIVERSITY is one of the many I could suggest the Younglings to add to their BUCKET LIST

Wonderful University experience as a student. Also a great place to visit an alumni, which allows for library privileges. I haven't seen the library renovations due to the pandemic, but I'm sure they will be awesome.

Somewhat hard to find parking. Teachers and staff are very respectful. Students are always doing their best.
