Dennis Vivanco I wanted to go to a CSU because there cheaper than a UC, and Long Beach has a really good social work program but it’s impacted so a lot of people are trying to get in with that major. Also Long Beach has CAMP program that helps migrant students out by helping them with tutoring and F Financial aid.

I have one question. How exactly does the tuition fees work? Is it $275 dollars per unit? So if you're taking 12 units, then it's $3300? Or is there like a flat rate no matter how many units you take?

@_heyitsmay

It's based on if you're a full time (7 or more units) or part time student (6 or less units). Here's where you can see the costs laid out: www.csulb.edu/student-records/tuition-and-fees

Omg I love this and your channel! I had Long Beach on my radar but didn't have any particular reasons to go. I still applied because I thought what the heck, might be a good option. Then just a few weeks ago I had a virtual interview and trial lesson (applying as a music ed major on flute) that was AMAZING!!! I immediately felt a strong urge to go to the school and after watching your tour video and more I am just so super excited about it!! I haven't made my decision yet but the more I find out the more I am loving it!!!! I also just found out I got in this week! :D

Seems like a great school. Based on how the classes work, do you have time to go to classes and juggle around a part-time or full-time job? Do they assign your classes like in high school, or do you choose what classes you want to take and when, like junior college currently is. If I get the luck to go there next year I will need to have at least a part time job; plus I’m not sure how the dorm expenses go and the daily meals, tuition, etc. I’m the first in my family to go to college, and the only ones in my neighborhood who have gone to college are no longer around, so I have to use social media for guidance. I’ve not seen one video yet of someone working while going to a CSU of any sort. Any tips or info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@_heyitsmay

6 жыл бұрын

You choose the classes you take (I mean, there are going to be some that you have to take by a certain time depending on your major, but your advisor will tell you that). Working while going to school is very doable! I would say most people at CSULB have at least a part time job, actually. I had one this semester that was 10-15 hours a week, and I was able to handle it. For tips, I would say just to allocate certain blocks of time to do homework and try not to do too much at once. At my job (which was at a calling center), I was actually lucky enough to be able to work on my homework during the shifts. I haven't made a video on working in college specifically, but I talk about it some in my vlogs if you want to check those out. There are all sorts of on campus jobs you can look into: www.csulb.edu/employment Also, here is the link to the housing payment breakdown: web.csulb.edu/divisions/students/housing/campus_housing/fees.htm I hope this helps, and you can totally hit me up with anymore questions you have! Go Beach!

What did you think about the teachers and academic advisors at csulb? Are they generally nice and helpful?

I’m exploring the 5 schools I’ve applied to and the common theme among them all seems to be students complaining about the crappy food sold in campus lol. Thank you for making this video. I really enjoyed it.

Hi there! Honestly, with classes being online right now, I would recommend going to community college and staying at home. It's not worth it to pay the price of a 4 year university if you're not actually able to go there. That's just my opinion though. It's possible that you would just have the first semester online and then be able to go on campus after that. Sometimes it's good to take a leap even if you feel like you're not quite ready and see how things shake out--I don't think anyone ever feels completely ready to move out of their parents' house to a new city and start college, if that makes you feel better. I know I didn't! But if you really don't think moving away right now would be a good fit for you, you could always go to community college for two years and then transfer somewhere else or just stay close to home for all four years. Everyone does college differently! I would consider classes being online and your financial situation as well when you make your decision. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about CSULB if you want more information!

Long Beach is my top choice for this year! Any advice for starting there?

Unless things have changed since I applied, yes. They just look at GPA and SAT scores as the main factors and it goes into some kind of algorithm. The same goes for all the CSUs--it's one application, and there is no essay required. For your second question, it definitely depends on the class! I got really close with some of my professors and not so much with others. Going to office hours is a great way to help build relationships with them.

There are places to lock up your bike, and you can't bike through the main walking paths, but you can bike around the sides of campus. There is also a Long Beach bus system and a campus shuttle that goes all the way around campus and a few off-campus places as well.

Hi Abby! Congrats on being accepted! 💛🖤 Would you be staying in the dorms? If they open things back up a bit and have more dorm activities, I would definitely recommend doing those as much as possible and introducing yourself to everyone in your hall when you move in. That really helps! If you're living off campus, it can be harder, but you can still join clubs and meet people in your classes. I don't know how much they're going to transition back to in person in the fall, but with the vaccine that should be coming soon! If not, you can always do virtual clubs as well. I hope this helps!

I've definitely had a good experience, but it really depends on a lot of factors. If you plan to live in the dorms (which I HIGHLY recommend, but I know it's not financially feasible for everyone), it's going to be easy to meet people in your hall or suite and at housing events. If you're not going to dorm, it can be harder, so I would recommend joining a club of something you're interested in and trying to meet people that way!
