California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB)

Cal State San Bernardino���s motto is ���Come here, go anywhere��� and undergrads certainly feel that sentiment rings true. The university provides a ���great education��� that allows students to ���discover amazing things about [themselves].��� CSUSB offers a substantial number of majors and students��� heap praise on the ���well recognized business program��� as well as the ���tremendous��� criminal justice program and ���great��� nursing school. Professors at CSUSB receive high marks. ���Passionate��� and ���knowledgeable,��� teachers here strive to ���make sure the material is understood.��� Students are also grateful for ���the enthusiasm they bring to every lecture.��� A junior illustrates by sharing, ���My professors bring a sense of humor to the classroom, which allows them to be a lot more approachable. They allow me to have fun while I am learning.��� And it���s certainly evident that ���professors want you to do well, and provide resources for students to make it happen.��� As a math major explains, ���When a questions arises, they are always willing to explain it thoroughly, so that all students understand.��� And one ecstatic freshman concludes, ���So far my academic experience is far beyond what I had anticipated. It is more than great; it���s amazing.���

Across the board, undergrads at CSUSB insist that ���there are no typical students��� here. As one psych major explains, ���We have great diversity which provides a great mixture of beliefs and ideas. There [are] young and old students, local and international students, and this allows people to share their different points of view and everyone can bring something to the table.��� Generally, students find their peers to be ���very laid-back��� and ���open minded.��� ���Friendly��� is another adjective that often springs to mind. As one math major notes, ���When a student is struggling, it is not uncommon to find someone willing to help you.��� And a nutrition major agrees adding, ���I was lost as I was looking for my class and a pair of students noticed and helped me��匈 did not even [have to] ask.��� Perhaps this content freshman says it best, ���As I see it everyone fits in with everyone. No matter if your religious or non-religious, skater or punker, and right-wing or left-wing. We���re all here for a common goal, to be successful, and that's what brings us together.���

Cal State San Bernardino has a large commuter population hence many students simply ���do [their] own thing.��� And while some undergrads lament that ���there's not much in terms of fun activities here,��� others insist that life is a blast ���as long as you get involved in groups/clubs.��� As one senior interjects, ���Greek life is a big deal, always active.��� Many students also herald the Rec Center which offers ���a large gym, climbing wall [and] basketball courts.��� Undergrads also flock to the Student Union which is home to the Gaming Center and the Pub, both popular hangout spots. There are a myriad of events such as ���card making in the Women���s Center��� and ���movie night at the library.��� Additionally, ���the theater/music departments are always putting on a performance.��� Students also appreciate that ���the fitness center offers low cost trips to many places in California to give students the opportunity to camp, hike, go horseback riding, and even snorkeling.��� Further, undergrads ���also get discounted tickets to movie theaters, theme parks and other fun places in the area.���
