I choose CSU long beach for its acedemic excellence, affordablity and its located in southern california near to silicon valley and pleasant climate. Application process is quite simple acedemic records, Gre and toefl scores, statement of purpose and Letter of recommendations.

The campus life is vibrant and with ample oppurtinities for social interactions. infrastructure is also very good with library, study rooms and clubs and fests.

The best thing about this university is the location and the price. Its located in long beach in the beautiful SoCal and very close to Los Angeles. It is amazing. Really nice location, nice people and so much to explore and do. The only down side is that it is pretty expensive but atleast the weather is nice here.

There’s a club for everything on campus and there are programs to help students join research in the university. We have a big gym and almost a place for every sport. There are labs for everything if you’re a STEM major. Wifi is available everywhere on campus and the library is pretty huge including collaborative spaces and a lab.

I really liked the program and the location. This is a well-reputed university. It is not as expensive as UCs but still has a great amount of resources. I love the resources on campus and the fact that they keep us involved. There are opportunities to work on campus as well. I wish we had placements.

There are events happening every week and multiple clubs for social and professional development. We have a state of the art gym with classes in yoga and fitness. There are also sports tournaments.

Overall experience at CSULB is really good, the return on investment is really good.

Campus life is good. It's a 322 acre campus with all important amenities available for students mostly for free.

Over all experience in California state University, long beach is pretty much good as of now, how ever it totally depends on you, how you upgrade your skills for the jobs to beat the competition as the competition for any single job is much high, and also be prepared well even before you landing in the US.

Good infrastructure with gym and sports facilities, many extracurricular activities will be conducted like basketball and all but as I'm not into sports, I wont be attending there much.
