    Even though CSUN doesn't have the title of a private or UC university, it should be seen the was the same potential of succeeding. It is a lot more affordable, which helps a lot not to fall too in debt.

    I think my education here is worth the money I'm spending to be there. I'm not only playing for education though--I get to go to the chiropractor every week, I go to the gym 3 times a week, I have a psychiatrist and a counselor, and am able to attain the medicine I need to stay sane.

    Good art program for a fraction of Art School prices. Some of the professors also teach classes at nearby art schools.
