Anyone go here or has gone here? I need an idea of what this school is like? What kind of students do they get? How big is the school? Is it a commuter campus? Any information will be helpful..

All I know is it's easy to get enrolled based on grades.

I did most of my under grad work at CSUSB, about 6 years ago. I really liked the campus and the faculty. It is a commuter school. A few years ago they built more on campus housing so that students wouldn't have to commute, but I don't think that worked well. Most students still commute. CSUSB attracts a wide variety of students, because of their programs. I was a commuter and that was the reason I transfered.

I graduated from CSUSB in June of 2006, and I give you a bit of info.

It is a nice campus, not nearly as crowded as Cal Poly Pomona or UCR.

It is a commuter campus.

I had a minor in mathematics and have attended 3 colleges and CSUSB by far had the BEST math teachers I've ever had. My major was liberal studies and I found the staff at CSUSB to be very helpful.

Quite a few Asian students attend CSUSB, pretty diverse campus. I saw white people, black, hispanic and quite a few Chinese. Not too many Japanese or Koreans though.

In general, the most common major is liberal studies, for those going into teaching. They have a huge teaching program there.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

I graduated in 2003. There were ups and downs like anything. The campus as everyone has said is a commuter campus. No doubt. I was involved in student government, a fraternity and other clubs and I sware ..... the student life atmosphere was rather disappointing. Everyone seemed too busy or pre-occupied with commuting or hurrying off somewhere.

However the school offers a peace and tranquil environment which I also found very relaxing and conducive to studying which was really the important part. I mean it was great going into the library and it was not over-crowed or walking to classes and not be elbow to elbow. I always remember looking out acrosss the quad and just seeing people in sparse groups walking. Buying your books and registration days were always insane like any campus.

The scenery was nice, big trees and the mountains right there looming. Winds can get annoying, but parking can get you closer to your classes without a long walk. Oh, parking was a nightmare here, ugh.
