Quite Bright
Tuition and fees have gone up, sure. But considering this is by far the most affordable 4 year university choice nearby, you really couldn't hope for much better. The quality of education here is STELLAR. I have had exactly two professors who I would recommend not taking, and every other professor I would recommend. And I've had dozens. Social life enjoyment really depends on what you put in. There are plennnty of opportunities to be involved if you try. And it seems the more you try the more you enjoy school. However it is mostly a commuter campus, so it can be tough to find that tight knit community feeling unless you're in a sorority or fraternity or something. But overall I would absolutely recommend CSUF. I've had an incredible time and a perfect balance of challenging and fun.
Education Quality: A, Campus Aesthetics: C+

I went to CSUF because it was easy, close to home, and I knew they had a good business program. In fact, they have a kick your ass-you better study like there's no tomorrow upperdivision course load. I am a Marketing concentration and I absolutely LOVE my major. However, I don't like that in order to take any of my concentration courses, I have first complete essentially 3 years of other coursework that seemingly does not pertain to my major. Why do students have to take two forms of accounting, two forms of stats, FOUR econ classes, finance...? It makes sense for business majors who don't know what concentration they are interested in, but it's almost like taking business GE's and it feels like a waste of my time and energy, since most of these classes will put you through the wringer, if I already have my concentration set. Even though CSUF is a commuter school, it provides a great opportunity to get involved in a ton of extracurriculars. I really didn't enjoy my experience at CSUF until I became involved, and now I really do love going to school. If I can advise anything? GET INVOLVED!!!!!!!! It's not as lame as you may think, not like how high schoolers think getting involved is... it's really worthwhile and can further your career and networking opportunities now and for the future!!

Not so bright
I'm currently attending CSUF as a transfer student, and I am not satisfied with the college. I feel like just a factory worker pushing paper just to make the grades. Everybody that goes to fullerton is a COMMUTER. Nobody has time to sit and hang out because everybody shows up for class then IMMEDIATELY leaves campus to go to work or go home. The only time I had a chance to make friends was when my classes gave a group project. By the way every other class @ csuf gives projects, reports, or essays. I even was assigned a project for a Calculus. Fullerton offers NO true college experience because everybody has the Orange County "im too cool" thing going on. On the other hand, the business college is great and will kick your ass. All UPPERDIVISION classes at CSUF are really difficult and require hours and hours of hard work and dedication. The school is extremely competitive and purposely weeds out the weaker links. If you are determined to graduate and get a degree, it will take a lot of hard work, time, and dedication to earn your place.
