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 here, but I feel like it's becoming more of a shell of itself. Maybe I am being dramatic. They also didn't let graduates walk after the COVID pandemic. Despite everything being in person, they didn't let graduates walk in attempts to save money. I don't know if that part was resolved. The professors were great and I miss them. Despite the buildings having an overall theme with style, some of the architecture is unique in their own. I love the psychology building.

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.

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.....👌🏼👌🏼🙂🙂👍🏻

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.
