California State University, San Bernardino — Attraction in San Bernardino

I graduated with a BA in Art Education and later went on to get my credential to teach art. Let me go ahead and say STAY AWAY FROM THE COLLEGE OF ED. They hype themselves about being the best campus, but they are by far one of the WORST organized campuses I have been in. You have to deliver all your paperwork to them because they have no clue how to set a system in place to transfer paperwork from one building to another even though THEY ARE ON THE SAME CAMPUS. Every friend of mine who has gone through the credential program has had some issues which has postponed not one, but two of my friends education. The campus never communicates with you and even when you go to ask administration, they swear like they sent the information to you which is absolute bull. When my friend and I finally were able to complete the program, they did not even have a ceremony for the students that graduated. "They will email you to let you know if your credential got approved, have a nice life...good luck on your own." I have another friend right now who is struggling just to get in even though we warned her about the disorganization of that campus. She got a last minute notice AFTER she submitted her PAF to the college that she did not even have her degree yet because these people who have specific jobs don't even know how to do it. I guess they just sit around all day and get paid while other students get screwed out of starting school. Now because of their fault at not giving her a heads up they expect her to pay 2700 up front before she can register for classes? Who's fault is that? I find it so sad they can take advantage of the students who are just trying to get an education. Sad to say that is the business of College. Just a bunch of money hungry people who don't give a damn about...

If you’re actually smart — not just GPA-smart, but independent-thinker, challenge-the-system, ask-better-questions smart — CSUSB will support you. Here, people respect hard work, original thinking, and quiet ambition. There’s no pretentious act, no herd mentality — just real students, real professors, and degrees that mean something.

Now let’s talk about UC Davis.

UC Davis is where originality goes to die. If you question anything — the system, the group narrative, the shallow “woke” activism that only exists on Canva slides — you’re instantly labeled “problematic.” It’s a campus full of groupthink, where being truly intelligent makes you a threat, not an asset.

Want to explore unpopular ideas? Want to push boundaries in science, politics, or tech? Too bad — Davis isn’t interested in thought, just compliance. It rewards people who follow the script and punishes anyone with the guts to think differently. It’s like intellectual prison with compost bins.

And what do you get for playing their game? Ten years after enrollment, you’re lucky if you’re making $54K pre-tax. That’s the reward for swallowing your brain and joining the hive mind.

Meanwhile, CSUSB grads are moving up — building careers in healthcare, education, business, tech — without the ego, without the debt, and without pretending to be elite.

If you value authenticity, intelligence, and actual outcomes, CSUSB is the real one. UC Davis is just a loud, self-congratulatory echo chamber where the truly smart either get...

I was excited to attend here as a veteran student. Unfortunately, my experience has been a bad one so far as a veteran student. Typically, I am hesitant to write reviews and allow time to play things through especially as a transfer student. The veterans office dropped the ball; I filled my paperwork with them back in July for post 9/11, and it took me following up in August to see were my paperwork was at and for them to notify me they needed one additional piece. Took them approximately two months and ME following up to tell me that.

Nonetheless, my Post 9/11 was never filed with the VA until September 6th, so at the moment I am looking at going 4 months without BAH or tuition for Summer and Fall paid for by my Post 9/11 meaning my FASFA disbursement went to tuition instead of books. I am disappointed with the VA office at this point and their lack of follow-through to ensure transfer Veteran students get situated. My current curriculum in Information Technology Cybersecurity has been the only upside to my attendance at CSUSB and recommended the program to anyone. Hopefully, this review will get feedback, if not I plan on writing a full report to multiple military and college ranking magazines about my...
