Is anyone going to the meet & greet?

Michelle Lala · Jul 24, 2013

Hey guys,

So orientation is next week and I am looking forward to meeting some of you. I am a little stressed about my living situation. I've been googling apartments by the school, and it seems as if there are none that are walking distance. I really wonder where exactly the majority of students live! If anyone has any recommendations on where you're staying, please let me know!

:)

There are apartments in walking distance. I know of one complex in particular. Not sure if posting the name would be a violation. There are many around that area. I would suggest driving around, maybe after the meet and greet. A lot of them don't advertise online. Did you get the email from nursing about the room for rent?

Michelle Lala · Jul 24, 2013

@Melanie

I did get that email! I'm not from around the area and google did not help much. I will definitely take a look at places next week! Thanks!

Hey guys!

CSUB Fall 2014 applicant here! I don't know if any of you that are in the program frequent this thread anymore but I have a question...

Once admitted into the CSUB program, is it necessary that you have a car? I had a car up about until 2 weeks ago until some moron decided to total my car... I sued him and will let the courts play it out but don't know how long it's going to take... I'm kind of nervous that I won't get my settlement before the deadline so I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a car. If it is, do you have to submit any type of paper work as sort of proof that you do by a certain deadline?

Melanie_661 · Mar 12, 2014

They do not require proof that you have a vehicle. I don't even remember them asking. Sorry to hear about your car. Good luck with your application to the program!

Melanie! or anyone who went to csub

How has the program been like? What advice do you have for someone moving over there for the nursing program?

Thank you!

Hi! Just finishing up my first year, I would have to say it's very chaotic and challenging. It gets pretty tough. I have heard it gets better the second year, as far as the chaos goes. My advice is to be very flexible and ready for anything at anytime. As a nurse you pretty much need to be that way, anyhow. If you are used to getting really good grades, at times you will find that all you desperately want is that 73%! Nursing exams are really hard, and clinical days can be grueling. From talking to others and reading, I think all of this is pretty true anywhere you go for nursing school. Just prepare for a ride, and hang in there!

Hello Melanie! I sent you a private message. If you have some time to spare, I would love to hear your answers! :)

Thank you!
