    I enjoy it now that I am in my degree program. The lower division classes and the students within those classes made me despise going to CSUSM. The students can be immature, spoiled, lazy, and just plain stupid.

    As a girl from a small town this was just perfect for me. I love the small campus so I don't get lost. I love living in the dorms becuase I get to be around other students and make memorable friends from not just all over California but International friends too. Just all the things you experience as a college student living away from home is exciting all the time. Never a dull moment at CSUSM!
