Great place for book lovers like me because it has a lovely library and lots of nice reading spots all around. That's about it. There is no culture or school spirit here, but it's still a young school so maybe things will change. Admin staff is wicked fast, which pretty much makes up for all of CI's shortcomings. Compared to other csu schools CI has better food, class sizes, and teachers (from my experiance). The negatives are (as compared to other csu schools) boring/isolated, crappy parking, and no way to escape without a car (a single bus passes through to the amtrack station in camarillo, strip mall in oxnard, and back again). I really wanted to give this place at least four stars because by my standards it's a great school, but the fact there is no place on or near ci to get coffee is a deal braker. There's this crappy feurdian sip that is nasty. We had it at my community college, but that was in LA where there was a hipster coffee shop or starbucks every few blocks. Anyway, here is my honest reveiw for anyone looking to attend CI. Great school, but like all places it has its faults.
