What Students Are Saying

1. Sit in the T zone of the class; meaning either the two front rows or the middle column of the class. 2. Always ask questions, its better to do something u know is right, than to not know what your doing. 3. Visit professors during office hours so they know you are interested in the class subject. 4. Always make time to leisure and relax. Best place is the Student Union there are always events to attend. 5. CSUSB is the best choice you'll make.

Be open minded on what other think and also be aware of the difrent view points people have.
Jovany from Los Angeles, CA
use ratemyprofessor.com before you chose your classes so you can get a heads up on how the class is structured and what other students felt about the professor after the quarter. i have used this website for 3 years and it has helped me countless times. also, procrastination is a big issue when you’re in college, especially since san bernardino is quarters not semesters. so in order to stay on top of your assignments and tests, make sure you either have a calendar or schedule book, so you can make sure you have not missed any due dates.
Jessica from San Bernardino, CA
All I can say is, don't underestimate this school. To be honestly, I did, I thought I was going to dislike this school, but after the first quarter I absolutely loved it! The staff is passionate, the students are friendly and the cost is affordable!
Joseph from Rialto, CA
Apply for classes early! Take your registration time seriously.
Alyson from Riverside, CA
Be a well rounded student!
Erick from Riverside, CA
I would recommend having a plan as soon as you know what your major will be. It will not only save you a BUNCH of time, but will help you to get in to your classes easily once your registration date is set and not have to be put on a wait-list. I would also recommend that prospective students buy a laptop because more and more students these days are taking notes in class on their ipads and laptops and it's easy to save, share or print out for future reference in class.
Corri from Provo, UT
The key to college is being involved, you always want to be in a club, a Greek organization or even on a sports team. Not only does this boost your resume but it also gives you something to do in your free time, makes connections with faculty and students, and can actually help you in school because you tend to keep good grades when you are motivated by others.
