What Students Are Saying

Ask questions, lots and lots of questions. Believe me, they make everything much easier!
Brittni from Riverside, CA
If I could give a tip, I wish someone said this to me, Do not Procrastinate on homework and always pay attention. Leave fun for last and school first. You puts your homework aside and party, the year will go fast but you will not accomplish what you have told your self to accomplish.
Edwin from Chula Vista, CA
In addition to taking a campus tour, make sure to take a day to tour the individual department for which you plan on majoring with. You can sit in on classes and get a real idea what your college experience is going to be like!
Seriously consider whether you want to live in the dorms or off campus (assuming you won't be staying with parents still), and work hard to get scholarships - the more you get, the easier your time at ANY college will be. Read lots of reviews, and find out for yourself how everything is at the school to make sure it's a good fit for you.
Shaylyn from Modesto, CA
If you plan on staying on campus, get a car.
Be prepared for the Dining Commons.
Don't spend your flex dollars too early.

Laurice from Rialto, CA
be yourself when you're on campus because being unique is an advantage, and being different contributes to the richness of the campus. also, try to stay on top of your work and utilize what your school offers, especially if it's free!
Korinne from Menlo Park, CA
Stay on top of your schooling responsibilities. Time managment is key to being successful. The more work you put in during the week allows a free weekend.
Emily from Salinas, CA
East Bay is a great school. The have a mentally of putting their students first and help them get ready for the real world. you start in the freshmen cluster to help you start out on the right path. This is beneficial for people who have no clue what they are doing. So be open mind, don't be afraid to take risk, and enjoy the opportunity you have.
