Long Beach State Dirtbags Reviews

Beautiful campus, great facilities, good faculty. Their band room is also very nice.

Good kind people. Great open campus. Great eco-friendly environment . Not "Great" but "decent" food to eat when we are in dorms. Speaking of dorms, the ones on this campus have earned a good score because it is quiet, and sometimes to quiet... squint squint. Also I read all about this campus online as one of the safest dorms to stay in for a university. Average rating (safety) 4.4 out of 5 (y) I am studying a field in medical and biological science so this may be an unfair review compared to others who have another field. I personally think the staff are very reliable and honest. They can help you with your deadlines and info that need to be due on TIME, and if YOU JUST DONT RUSH THEM, EVERYTHING WILL GO SMOOTHLY thats how I got the best SERVICE. Thats a lesson about Patience.

Everything you would need for any 4 year degree, is available. Living in the Long Beach area is an enormous plus.

The kids went to Summer Camp here and the loved it. Sports activity after activity.

The street view map is CSU SAN BERNARDINO,!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I am writing this review on behalf of my neighbor who's a high school student. She's an awesome student, and she asked me to help apply to colleges. The girl is the first person in her family going to a university so she has no one who knows the process to help guide her through.
The process shouldn't be harder than applying for a home loan but it has been at CSULB. We mailed transcripts in and we see our profile saying that transcripts are still due, we call and no one has a definitive answer or next step. Someone says just mail them again, another person says it should be fine. It's busy I understand, but it's a reason for a slow process not a chaotic one.

Great place to study and meet lot of people and have good time

CSULB is an Amazing School!
The students and staff are very friendly and there is a lot of clubs you can join to make friends and get connections. The school's Student Union is well equipped and they often makes special events around campus so you always have something fun to partake.

Its a super big campus , but the people are really nice & its super lit !!

Worst school I have ever been to and I am far from 18 years old. I am old enough to have grand kids. I have seen it all but I have never seen so much arrogance, racism and corruption in my whole life. If you apply I hope you are a US Citizen resident of California, if not I suggest you run away as fast as you can. The only person in charge of residency for the entire University, Dianne North, hates immigrants and told me she will deny my residency endless and no one in the entire school cares. The ombudsman and the director in charge of the Equity and Diversity Office are also extremely corrupted and won't even listen to student issues. Again, run away. If you have options do not enroll here. This school has been my worst nightmare.

Great professors, Great education, Great People !
Environment is so good. I will miss this place.

I was never a student of this famous university. Yes, I seek information and data about Jose Carlos Lobo, so my uncle, who graduated in 1973 (Geology and Business Administration). I hope your collaboration.

I love to study Science here. Professors are awesome

Absolutely THE MOST CORRUPTED school you'll ever deal with! Stay tuned and you will see how they will be sued!

Great place to study and meet lot of people and have good time.Food courts or cafeteria are not the study places (it can be, but its packed).Amazing environment, great teachers!

School can be drastically improved. Especially their BS parking enforcers and security.

The Master of Social Work program is taught by some of the most knowledgable and helpful social workers from the health, mental health, education, and child welfare institutions!

My drive to this campus was amazing finally after so long I went and walk to the campus on my own was breath taking.

Beautiful area. I went here on a field trip. it is really close to my school, and is so modern and nice. people look friendly, and everyone is very busy. seems like a nice place to study. big campus, so much fun to do some projects at this university.

I remember getting off the public bus to use the women's restroom here back in Spring semester 2017. A student helped me find the restroom. I was a student from LBCC who had a kidney problem. I had hard time walking because my sides kept aching. I'm glad that a nice lady showed me the way to the restroom. I no longer have health issues. But I love this university because of many friendly students!

Worst Experience ever in my FMD 351 fashion class. It's so ridiculous that they require students in that class to fund raise $150 for the school fashion show and it will affect the class grade?!? I hope the school could pay attention to this problem. Many fashion students do not really like it.

This school looks amazing and awesome I think I might go here

This is the place where I am persuing my master of science.... it's a heaven. I realized it after visiting other places..

This College was my safety net and for me it's an average decent school. I would give it 4 stars but the reason I give 5 is because I have a lot of friends and so many connections. Most of my tutors when I was K-12 studied there and many of my fav LosAl grads mostly go here. In fact, 141 grads of 2016 come here the most ever. I already know so many ppl who go here and I love it! People matter most to me that's why I rate 5 stars. :)

Turning on the power of the sport was different from Japan.
The high performance of the university basketball players was wonderful, and I learned the treatment of the real AT and programming.

I am starting here this fall. The faculty in the financial aid office, enrollment services, and housing are all extremely helpful and kind.

This is my alma mater. Great education, great value, one beautiful pyramid, the women's soccer is on the rise, and it's winning Big West Commissioner's Cups every now and then. Caution: the women's volleyball teams have regressed at this school.

You can get a decent education here. But the tragic under-funding of the CSUs by the state of California still makes CSULB, one of its flagship campuses, feel overcrowded and under-served. Too many of its faculty are temps, its class sizes are too big, and it doesn't provide enough on-campus study spaces for its students. The library is good for pop books, and older scholarship, but not for doing contemporary social science and humanities research. If you're a high school or community college student, set your sights on trying to transfer into a UC school if you can, before you go to a CSU.

Great school. Great quality for the money. Good professors, interesting subjects.

Good school, in a populated area so stores aren't far off. As a student you get free transportation which is pretty good in the city.

Parking can be rough, but there are more and more options for students now than when I attended as an undergrad and later as a grad students. Many majors and programs.
Beautiful campus and you'll say fit romping up and down the hill.

Biggest hill on the LB Marathon course--CS Long Beach students show great spirit and support for the runners.

I loved Cal State Long Beach!!! Everyone was friendly, great professors and there is plenty to do on campus!! I would recommend this school to anyone! #GoBeach

I attended this school from 2002 to 2006 and loved it loved it loved it. Lived in the dorms (Parkside Commons), joined a sorority (Alpha Phi), lived life to the fullest and had an amazing time. Graduated with a BA in Comm and a heart full of great memories. Every second was a blast. I also was fortunate to attend during President Maxson's tenure, and he was such a supportive, positive influence on the school and the students. Maybe that had something to do with it! Go beach!

Beautiful Campus and amazing people. Parking is a huge problem, so I would recommend to take the bus. It's $40 a semester so that's already less than the parking permit and you don't have to waste money on gasoline and you don't have to look for parking spaces.

To start, I have designated a 3.5 star rating attributed to the university as a whole.

Now that this is out of the way, I am pleased to inform you that for the money, you will receive a quality education here. I graduated in December 2014 with a BA in Environmental Science and Policy, and I can honestly aver that I had (on average) really great professors (professor quality could vary based on your academic focus). I studied for five years here, and am now on my way to UC Irvine to complete my Masters.

While there are many notable strengths as far as educational inquiry is concerned, the university itself falls short of (ideally) the entire college experience. Is this a commuter school? Yes. Does school spirit lack? From my experience, yes. Is social life lacking (aka. the party scene)? From an observational basis, yes (way more than what you will find at universities such as USC and UCSB). Is parking atrocious (see other reviews)? Indeed, but that ultimately depends on the time you plan to park.

If there is one piece of advice I have for incoming freshman, it is to take advantage of any opportunities the university has to offer. Whether that is to join a club, frat/sorority, organization, cause, (etc.) is completely up to you. Engagement outside the classroom will help mitigate the effects of what I like to call "commuter syndrome." Make no mistake, CSULB is deemed a commuter school by most, so become proactive if you can.

Overall, there's a lot to like about CSULB: good professors, friendly people, an exceptional athletics program, a nice campus, and an exquisite Japanese Garden. Just be aware of the aforementioned caveats.

First of all, a very huge campus! Expect a lot of walking. However, there's some nice little places to study and to unwind. I really like the Japanese garden they have on campus. Very peaceful and quiet. The downside is if you're commuting, it's a war to find parking.

Going to school here is awesome, but living in Long Beach totally sucks. The school is pretty much located in the ghetto of Long Beach...

I was in the CBA for Human Resources Management, and I was always shocked at how many "stupid" students I had in my classes.
