Looking for a college where students are seen, supported, and actually thrive? Look no further than California State University, Monterey Bay. CSUMB is the perfect blend of academic rigor, personal attention, and stunning location. Nestled near the coast, it offers a peaceful, focused environment without the chaos of an overcrowded UC campus. Faculty here are accessible and invested in your success. You’re not lost in a sea of 500+ students in a lecture hall — you’re guided, mentored, and actually taught.
The culture at CSUMB encourages innovation, leadership, and personal development. The campus is modern, the community is inclusive, and the programs — especially in environmental science, marine biology, and business — are forward-thinking and practical. CSUMB may be quiet in branding, but it’s loud in results.

UC Davis thrives on mediocrity. If your dream is to be just another number in a prestige trap, fine. But if you value substance over status, growth over grind, and sanity over stress — CSU Monterey Bay...

Lucky for them I signed away my right to demand a refund if I was unsatisfied with my alleged “education” as a condition of my acceptance. A curious contract of force. Indoctrination facilities advertise themselves as all sorts of institutions and facilities. What a strange and unfortunate system of oppression. This review is for the “VPA Department”, undergraduate...
Read moreThey are douchebags. I was supposed to be dropped because I told them before that I wasn't going to go because I didn't get a dorm room in time and there weren't any apartments in my budget. They claim that I didn't tell them anything and now they are charging me over 3,109.50 and they expect me to pay it in 30 days. Plus they are doing the same thing to my brother. Most colleges drop you if you don't show up for a certain amount of time and we never showed up. And for the orientation they weren't even helping much Fresno state is way better. They are like...
