    Tips for prospective students

    It is not as competative as UC's and other high powered institutions but the advantatge is you can really stand out and succeed here if you are an above average student. Also, the education is more based on getting you ready to be more technically proficient at your job as opposed to theory based academics. For art students looking for a small class size and a more well rounded education in other disciplines as well, then go here instead of say the Academy of Art in SF.
    Great for these types of students

    Commuter students who work and want to do school also. Live at home to save money. If you like short term 10 wk classes and want to save money for a well rounded education go here.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned a lot in the 10 weeks that I have attended so far. The class sizes are nice, and I haven;t had much trouble getting the classes that I want. I have done well my first quarter, and I think I owe credit to CSUEB for that,
    Am enjoying being here

    I am truly enjoying it here at CSUEB. I live on campus, so I have had the chance to get to know many students, and become friends with some great people. I joined a sorority, and have gone to all the events the school has held. I've even joined up for the Orientation team this summer to help show students what a great school it is! GET INVOLVED! Believe me, it's worth all the time spent.
    Bang for the buck

    It's worth it, believe me.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask questions, lots and lots of questions. Believe me, they make everything much easier!

    It's great for those who wish to commute, or those who wish to attend a diverse college with many great people.

    Tips for prospective students

    CSU East Bay is a great college. Every freshman is to pick a cluster which helps a lot with the general education program. Some people who picked the same cluster will be in some of your other classes. The advisers are very helpful. The General Studies class all freshman are required to take is a very assisting class especially to lost bodies. It is required because it shows what you need to do in order to be successful in college.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for people who love being diverse. East bay is a very diverse campus, however it is not that big.

    Interesting classes, nice staff, small class sizes. Budget cuts affecting stuedents ability to enroll in classes and get classes they need
    Am enjoying being here

    Many things to do, located in the heart of the bay. Great greek organizations, fabulous view of the entire bay area.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be open to many new things, this school is in the heart of the bay area which has much diversity and new things around every corner. Be willing to dedicate time to your studies, this school is on a quarter system which is faster paced than the average semester system. Get involved, there are tons of opportunities for you to try things and keep busy.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students who like being in a diverse living situation and like bay area. It has a beautiful view of the bay both during the day and night. The location makes one forget that they are right in the middle of a city. You have the best of both worlds at East Bay.

    I love the classes offered, and registering on time, I've been able to get the majority of classes that I want. Some CSUs are only giving students one or two classes.
    Bang for the buck

    Any CSU is experiencing lots of fee hikes with the current CA situation, but the tuition is still reasonable compared to other types of schools.
    Tips for prospective students

    GET INVOLVED!!! There are so many different activities to get involved in on campus and it is a great way to meet people.
    Great for these types of students

    Its important to be positively aggressive! Don't forget why you're at school, and be willing to network and speak with your professors. The ratios are good enough at this school to mingle with professors and they will often remember your name, which is not always common at other schools!

    Am learning a lot

    At this school i have been learning a lot. Students just need to know their priorities and not procrastinate on their work. If student do their homework and pay attention in class, school will go by fast and you will absolutely pass the class with a top notch grade.
    Am enjoying being here

    I lived in the dorms for my freshman year. The dorms there are seemingly brand new and feel like your living in a hotel. At others schools, students are cramped and don't have space to fit all of their belonging. At Pioneers highs residents halls you are given help in all angels and the RA's (Residential Assistants) always try to make it feel like home.
    Bang for the buck

    School there has been increasing tuition but it is still cheaper than other school like SDSU and any UC school out there.
    Tips for prospective students

    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.
    Great for these types of students

    If your looking for a place to just go to school, this is the place. The life on CSUEB isn't like other school. Students just go about their business and go to class. You want to be involved in campus life? Join a Fraternity/ Sorority. I joined Delta Chi and my life on CSUEB couldn't of have been any better without the guys i call brothers.

    Am learning a lot

    Here at CSUEB I have been studying quite a bit. I wasn't sure what major I wanted so I explored a bit my freshman year. I learned many various things. Other then academic skills, I learned a lot of life skills that helped me grow as an individual from living on campus.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is quite nice being a dorm student. You live on campus and have a meal plan to the dining commons that are right next to the dorms. The overall experience so far (1.5 years) has been pleasant.
    Bang for the buck

    Sometimes I feel that I am not getting all the classes that I want to pay for. I wish there was more availability for some classes, but for the most part it is fair.
    Tips for prospective students

    For students coming to East Bay, I recommend joining a club or organization. It makes college life more exciting and makes you feel like you belong somewhere. Also don't be afraid to ask questions. There are many helpfully places on campus for students and if you don't ask you might even know they are there.
    Great for these types of students

    Am learning a lot

    The professors are all extremely caring about your studies and your overall well-being, and encourage you to visit them outside of class if you need help on anything. Class sizes are typically very small, so you can get more one-on-one attention if you have questions about anything. There's a good variety of classes to take for GEs, so aside from the very specific ones (like taking public speaking, math, and English classes), you can take more interesting classes for your GE credits, such as American Indian Oral Literature (definitely worth taking, by the way).
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is always very clean, and they just built a gym (with Jamba Juice!). There's also a small rec center near the library (and Starbucks). The Union is a great place to hang out whether you're studying or not. Overlooking the city and the bay is nice, especially at night as you're coming down the hill. Students and staff alike are very friendly, and it's easy to feel at home here. I've always been a fairly shy person, but have made many good friends here.
    It's close to downtown Hayward, so there's good food nearby if you have a lunch break, or if you want to take a day trip somewhere, places like Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Francisco are all close enough that you can do so.
    Bang for the buck

    College is always expensive. But as long as you have some financial aid, you can probably get by fairly easily here. It's one of the cheaper schools to attend, even with rising tuition. I feel like I'm getting a quality education, especially in my chosen discipline (music).
    The quarterly parking permits are about $130 as of the time of this writing, so they are fairly expensive, but a lot cheaper than buying a day pass for $8 every day you have classes.
    Living off campus, the total cost of living/school combined (for me) is about $20,000, including rent, bills, etc.
    Tips for prospective students

    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.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone wanting a smaller school and/or a cheaper school but still a quality education. There's no football team, so football players should avoid this, naturally.

    Heck no the laundry room sucks,all the machines take your money and dont work correctly. You pay 10,000 dollars to stay in a room that isnt worth it. You are stranded on a big hill, it cost like five hundred bucks for a parking permit. It just isn't worth it. Taking the bus sucks, bad area and crazy people. the roads are always crowded!! Do not come here you will regret it.

    California State University East Bay is a great public school with a small school feeling. Classroom sizes are small, teachers have regularly scheduled office hours, and there are more activities than ever on campus for students to participate in; the newest addition is the Recreation and Wellness center, a on-campus gym. CSUEB can improve on its level of school spirit though which is currently lacking.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus! It's beautiful, fairly small for a CSU and has an amazing view and location in the Bay Area,
    Academic Rigor

    GE classes are fairly easy but major classes suddenly become very difficult in comparison.
    Dorm Life

    Amazing new dorms.
    Food and Dining

    The dining commons are great but the food becomes old if you eat there everyday. Panda Express, Subway, Raging Burrito, and the bistro are all options for hot fresh meals while the P.O.D store and bookstore are options for snacks and quick refrigerated meals.
    What to do for fun

    Centrally located to San Fransisco, San Jose, and Berkeley
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition of course keeps rising which is disappointing!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a cave which is a study section in the North Science building which has vending machines full of ice cream, dinners, lunches and other snacks so you can stay in there and study all day ( before and after the library is closed)

    Academic Rigor

    CSUEB is nationally known for its freshman cluster program. This program helps freshman students make the transition from high school to university, along with other classmates.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are very nice. There are about 8 rooms in the freshman suites, which includes a kitchen. I definitely recommend staying in the dorms, if you can afford it. Another option is off-campus living near the school.
    Food and Dining

    The Dining Commons is great! It is an all-you-can-eat buffet every day. Meal Plans are offered for those who enjoy eating until they get bored!
    What to do for fun

    CSUEB offers over 40 different extracurricular activities. I will be joining the cross country team on an athletic scholarship. It will be fun going to this school, if you make it that way.

    CSU East Bay is a great university. I love how the class rooms are not extremely crowded. We get to have the chance of being in better contact with the teacher for feedback and help.
    Tips for prospective students

    A tip would be to get help from advisors and career counselors if you are not sure on where to start!
    Academic Rigor

    The academic policies are mostly the same as other colleges. There is no plagarism tolerance. Grades are given based on what is achieved in the class.

    the school environment is really good, however the overall organization and process if very complicated and very frustrating for a student. the school is very fun and has plenty of social and academic opportunities, but the advertisement for the education opportunities is very poorly. the opportunities available are not made aware to the students, the staff seems very busy and often very stressed.
    Tips for prospective students

    ensure that you complete every thing ahead of time or on time, the school takes a great amount of time because it is so large.
    Academic Rigor

    has many opportunities, but the student is the one who can take advantage of their full potentials.
    Dorm Life

    not very fun, the school accepted more freshman than they could house therefore some were placed to live in study rooms, or in the international dormitories.
    Food and Dining

    wide variety of all sorts of food and dinning options. they have food stands such as bagels and starbucks, subway and panda express. their dinning commons is designed as a buffet, with a variety of healthy foods and fast foods.
    What to do for fun

    school provides a lot of athletic and social activities both on campus and off campus.
    Bang for the buck

    the school is a great school, however for the rating, it is too expensive, it would be a last resort option, but certainly not one to regret.

    there are phones throughout campus that students can use to summon police or even taxis to the rescue should the students ever feel in danger, or scared for whatever reason. the police station is on campus, there are lights all over campus so that night time is not dark, and there are different numbers that you can remember and call if you ever need help or find yourself in danger at any time.

    The Recreation and Wellness (RAW) is pretty snazzy. It was added last year. It's a free gym for students. And there's Jamba Juice inside. I think if you utilized all that the school has to offer you could easily get your money's worth.

    Am learning a lot

    There are ten weeks a quarter. Despite the small class size, it is beneficial for student because it gives the student the opportunity to build a strong relationship with their professors and fellow classmates.
    Am enjoying being here

    I lived on campus for my first year and i loved it. You really to know and meet a lot of people. It was also convenient when waking up for class and there are areas in the dorms to study in silence. I also joined a fraternity and made long life friends. Everyone is really friendly and accepting and is easy to get involved on campus. Also East Bay is in the heart of the bay area so going to the city is an easy drive.

    Tips for prospective students

    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.
