The nursing package will tell us exactly what needs to be done right? Hopefully it comes sooner so that we know exactly what needs to be done!

How is the campus, student services and stuff like that? I know that CSULA is considered a commuter school which is fine for me. I'm wondering also, where would be a good place to live in regards to commuting to school? I know the area isnt the best but do you have any suggestions?

Their campus is pretty decent; I would consider it a medium sized campus. There are some really old buildings mixed with some really nice ones so it balances out =P There's a Student Union (it's new) where a lot of students come to chill or study and a nice gym in the basement that you get to use at no extra cost, so try to take advantage of it! Oh and there's also a Starbucks on campus!! YUM. The classes are actually pretty small compared to most colleges. The largest lecture I had had about 190 students and that was a popular human anatomy class. Regarding student services, there are free tutoring services in the library, a health office, enrollment services, cashier's office, financial aid; etc. You can get free scantrons and blue books from the ASI Center in the Student Union (don't forget this!!). Oh and there's also a very convenient bus/train station on campus, too :) Not sure about clubs, but I feel like a lot of them are fraternities and sororities based on what I saw during welcome week haha. I know there are clubs that we can join once we're in nursing school though. As for living off campus and stuff, I actually commute to CSULA, so I wouldn't know much about good places to live near CSULA, sorry :(
