CSUN ABSN 2015

Published

I noticed that there wasn't a thread posted for CSUN ABSN 2015 yet so I thought I'd start one I'm currently a student at CSUN finishing my BA in psychology (I will be graduating this December). I can hardly wait to start nursing school! I wanted to start this thread so us CSUN applicants can get to know each other.

I'm from Chatsworth so I know the area around CSUN very well. If your main concern is being super close to campus, then you can't beat Northridge, North Hills, Granada Hills, Lake Balboa, or Chatsworth. If you're willing to drive a tiny bit further (15-20 min drive to campus) but have more access to bars/restaurants/shops, then I would suggest the south Valley: Tarzana, Encino, Sherman Oaks. All of these are off of Ventura Boulevard, which is the more "happening" part of the Valley. Housing here is probably slightly pricier than it is closer to campus.

I would try to steer clear of anything east of the 405 (Panorama City, Van Nuys, North Hollywood) only because crossing the 405 will often double your traffic time. I love my neighborhood (Studio City, next to Universal Studios) and I would recommend it, but it's at least 20-25 mins to CSUN.

Hope this helps!

I live in Studio City too! Lol 😊 it takes me about 20-25 min to get to CSUN as well.

Hello all! I got in! I received the email this afternoon and didn't have the courage to open it until I got home in the evening. LoL I had my mom read it and she started crying.(^^,) It hasn't really sunk in yet... Anyway, for those who are wondering, my last name starts with a D and I did apply early in November. Someone I know who applied about two weeks after I did got her receipt and update emails about two weeks after I got mine so they may be going through in the order the applications were received. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and good luck to all of us!

BTW, the email did not contain any clues such as "Congratulations" in the subject line. Just in case you freak out prematurely when you receive the email. :)

Congratulations! 😊

I heard that CSUN has on campus housing. Has anyone lived there? Also, is around campus a safe area?

I've been provisionally accepted it says on my online account, but it'll take 8 weeks for me to receive an official letter. That shouldn't be a problem?

Are they really only telling 2 people a day?! It feels like time is in slow motion over here!

I agree! If anything this just goes to show you theres no use tryin to "crack the code" on how they send out these admissions decisions (alphabetical, by submission time, ranking). Just have to remember that everyone WILL hear something at some point, at least that's what I tell myself cause you're right it does seem to be moving in slow motion.

I applied for the Fall. Funny thing though, there's this line on the acceptance form I need to return: By completing this form and returning it no later than March 25, 2015, you have secured a seat into Summer Cohort 17.

I've emailed back this morning to ask for clarification but haven't heard back yet.
