Good value for money to study here.

Tips: Great value of money as compared to a lot of other California universities. The level of academics and teaching did not disappoint and the weather remains beautiful throughout the year. The campus has a very free and friendly environment and people are naturally easygoing. Have learnt a lot here.

Dislikes (Part time work): Very limited availability and scope of part time jobs here mainly because of government regulations and the opportunities within campus are limited. Also sometimes the academic schedules make it tricky to maintain a part time long term especially during the final season.

Great place and people.

Tips: I did not face major cultural shocks. People here are quite warm and friendly and helpful when needed. The orientation was useful and after setting up my accounts and registration I could live as I please.

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.

MS Information Systems (STEM) - Batch of 2025

Offered by California State University Long Beach

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.
