Great for tech and learning.

Tips: My transition here has been positive and a learning experience. Good value for money compared to most universities in California and professors are also supportive and helpful. Super diverse place with lots of Indians as well and the tech exposure out here is great as well. Clubs on campus are pretty active as well.

This university gives opportunity for your overall development.

Tips: Fully satisfied with the coursework and opportunities that I got. Scholarships are not available for this university. And as the course fee is already on the lower side it's manageable once you secure a job. As it helps you build your development, you can get into a student phase.

Likes (Indian Food): Every kind of cuisine is available nearby. Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai etc. But it makes your life easy if you cook for yourself. Eating outside would make the cost of living even more expensive. You can avail the on campus dining which goes easier on your wallet.

Dislikes (Internships): Location did help a lot and the likes of open career fair from our university and neighbouring universities like USC, UCLA, UC IRVINE did help a lot when securing a job. You have a good alumni association for this university. And also you will be networking with the above mentioned students as well.

Best for postgrad than undergrad.

Tips: My transition was both peaceful and gradual. The initial two weeks were spent running around, trying to get the hang of things, opening my bank accounts and after that it became more peaceful. It takes time to build solid friend groups, although people are friendly there is a sense of being reserved. Classes are well planned and I would say I am satisfied here.

Best return on investment.

Tips: You can get on campus jobs here in 4-5 months if you apply seriously and also, people here are friendly and will get along easily. You should complete your core subjects which will help you give the comps exam early and you can focus on internships or jobs at the end of graduation.

Likes (Student Life): Everyone is friendly here and there are many on campus opportunities to meet new friends. They organise events and meetups weekly, which help find connections and also clubs are great options to interact with people here. Other than that, the city itself is very peaceful.

Dislikes (Internships): Due to current job conditions, it's hard to find internships. You can get it's not completely impossible but you have to dedicate your time to applying and increasing your skills in a particular direction. You should attend conferences and make connections with similar people.

Needs better support for internships and decent academics.

Tips: Internship support is limited. The faculty quality is consistent. Some professors were supportive, but not everyone. Academics (curriculum) at least for the MSIS could be improved as it only offers two tracks - ML & Cybersecurity. There is scope for improvement in academics. The vibe is good. The campus is small with limited food options.

Likes (Public transportation): Long Each has an efficient and accessible public transportation network. Getting around the city and nearby areas is easy even without a personal vehicle. Public transportation is quite affordable-students can get discounted passes by Tap Card - LBT.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships largely depends on the individual effort rather than university support. There are occasional career fair and workshops, students have to rely on different platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed to find an internship. For me, CSULB did not help me in finding internship.

A journey worth remembering.

Tips: CSULB does not offer any scholarship for MSIS course. The student housing community is very good and the bus service in the whole of Long Each is too good. The bus stop is 5 minutes. Walk away from the housing community. Multiple grocery and fast food options from the housing community, which is just a distance of 3-4 minutes.

Likes (Value for money): The fee is very less compared to other universities in California. At the same time, you get the opportunity to stay in California, which is the hub of tech opportunities. The professors at the university are friendly and helpful. The university has many events, career fairs, etc.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The nearest Indian food restaurant is 35 minutes away by bus. There is an Indian area called as Artesia, where you can get Indian groceries, multiple Indian food options, Indian vibes and Indian festive shopping. Also, the bus takes about 35 minutes from the nearest bus stop to the housing community.
