California State University Long Beach

Beautiful place to go to university. Good energy and they are building. Will be next level when finished.

This university is on the affordable side and they offer so many fields of study that other nearby universities don't offer. It is closer to the ocean and it's bustling with life. However, the recent politics of this school were not good. The university raised the tuition to construct a nicer area (that didn't need renovation), rather than use that money to improve and expand programs, or improve student life (Air conditioning for the Art building for example). The restaurants before 2020 were filled with people and all kinds of food you can buy. Now, it's deserted because they closed all of the restaurants. Some of the dorm rooms are poorly managed at times, based on what some people tell me. Before all of that, I came to this university during high school, and I knew I wanted to go her

It's far more expensive now then when I attended but still great value, great faculty and beautiful campus. Population density of Long Beach is also much greater these days thanks to housing incentives and you will see homeless people lighting it up broad daylight in the immediate areas around campus sometimes but also more taco street vendors. There's used to be a guy is trying to sell you speakers in the parking lot out of a van, he was trying so hard.

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.

I have been here, and it is very big. I love the shark lab and the astronomy night and the basketball game at the pyramid. It is so cool to be there. 😍🤩❤️
