    Tuition is one of the lowest in the state, you are not cheated out of an education and you definitely not over paying for it either!

    CSU is a all around a good school. It is accessible for transportation train or bus and nice size parking lot. There is a variety of activities and sports. A workout center that opens early and stays open late. When you have down time there is a game room which is awesome. There is always flyers up about speakers on different subjects.
