I am a college student at CSUMB and I am so happy here. I’m originally from southern California and I do think there is a difference in the cultures represented in each part of our state, so I won’t say it was a piece of cake adapting to some of the little differences I’ve picked up on over the past two and a half years, but in the end I’ve grown to love it. The student life is very active and it is very easy to get involved in activities on campus. The small community is the biggest reason I chose to attend this school—everybody does know everybody but to me that’s okay. The significance of a smaller community means more time with teachers and group projects—you’re forced to challenge yourself in each class you take.

The social life is great as well, this school has a small town feel where even if you don't know someone, its okay to just strike up a conversation. every one is laid back and friendly, and there is always something to do whether it be a movie on Tuesday night at the world theater (it's free for students! and they play new movies that are still in the cinema!) or taking a walk down to the beach! I love love love it here :)

I love the atmosphere at CSUMB. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Part of the benefit of a smaller school is that you see the same people a lot making it easier to get to know new people. We are a fairly tight knit community. The surrounding area has many cultural events, wonderful beaches and lots of fun things to do.

The area is beautiful, but there isn't much to do. The school is secluded from anything but itself and things close early because mainly older people occupy the area.

If you're like me, a small town girl at heart, you'll definitely enjoy being here. A lot of people that I've talked to have described the campus as beautiful and friendly. The university resides in Seaside, a not-so-big city, in Central California.
