Most Well-Rounded Universities: California State University Los Angeles

By Eric Witter


Over the eastern part of Los Angeles, you'll see the California State University, Los Angeles in all its wonder. It is parked on top of a hil,l right in front of the San Gabriel Mountains and just several miles from Downtown L.A. With its extremely distinctive location, this university does not particularly provide you with the whole "college vibe" that you generally see in the shows. This is not at all a minus for the university for several reasons.

First of all, it is actually pretty much a living museum of sorts. One can only agree just by merely looking at all the structures and buildings in the campus grounds. CSULA features a humanities shelter, a space research facility by NASA along with the nation's primary Charter College of Education. While you walk around campus, you'll be able to immediately sense the heritage that it is just starting to develop. Not just that, you can also find there a number of specialty high schools- the Marc and Eva Stern Math and Science School and the Los Angeles Country High School for the Arts. Whenever you get a glimpse of the things they're doing within the walls of their classroom, you will guarantee that they'll turn out to be well- renowned at some point in the future.

Second, this is a commuter school so most of the students don't actually stay in campus during the weekends (well, except when you have a class on Saturday). Since only a few choose to board in the university, you have a slew of commuting options to choose from. If you have the luxury of having a car, you can park in one of their underground parking areas, which they actually pioneered to lessen the congestion of cars on the campus grounds. In my honest opinion, I actually like it better to use the rail station for getting in and out of the campus. You can also take the bus or the neighborhood shuttle service, whichever one's more convenient to you.

Third, the notion that attending college is going to tie you down in IOUs for decades ahead are practically outlawed in CSULA. It is definitely one of the most inexpensive educational institutions within the state and not only that, your school guide will in fact require you to finish a number of educational assitance applications from all sorts of funding source you can actually ever imagine. What's more, you can even work inside the campus so those lengthy gaps between classes will not include extreme boredom.

The only thing that has the 'college vibe' is their academic curriculum. U.S. News ranked their business program as the best in America. The School of Nursing is also critically acclaimed to apply the very best training to students. But don't be disappointed if you do not plan to declare them as one of your majors, because all the other courses also have the privilege of working with some of the most technologically advanced facilities in the state.
