Find out what these students say about their overall experience at Cal State Northridge:

I just graduated, and I look back on my years at CSUN and see that my overall experience there was great. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people, and learned so much from my experience there. I would definitely recommend going to CSUN to anyone. A few words to the wise: make sure you are on top of things with registering for classes because if you miss a second, you will get screwed and possibly postpone your graduation because of one small mistake. Try to make friends with as many people as you can because you will never know when you will need them. Try to live in the dorms for at least one year, get involved, and last but not least, have as much fun as you can, and live for the day.

I enjoyed my experience at CSUN. If you like a beautiful landscape and wearing flip-flops and tank tops in January, then CSUN is the place for you. It s close to the beach, mountains, and downtown. It s really a homey place.

Ilike that CSUN has small classes compared to other big universities. The high school/college transition was easy to make.
