- Hey! I tried making the video as short as possible, but here is a short version of my experience at LB State. I'm graduating this year and am so excited to end my college journey with a Communication Studies degree and a minor in American Sign Language and Deaf Cultures.
If you have any additional questions or want me to post a video about my semester abroad, comment below! I'd love to share and help anyone with questions!
Enjoy (:
Hi Mackenzie! I am considering applying to LBSU for Spring 2024! Great video!
Hi Mckenzie, thank you so much for sharing! I'm considering applying for COMM MA in CSULB for fall 2023, a couple of questions I want to ask
1: Does COMM MA require GRE for international students?
2: How do you think of the COMM program at CSULB?
3: How much does the dorm cost on campus?
Thank you so much!
hii Mckenzie ! i recently was admitted to csulb and your video was so helpful! im majoring in pre-communication and i don’t know a lot of people having a communication degree so when i heard that you are graduating with one from long beach i felt like it was a sign lol. but how is the communications department at long beach ? and what type of job do you want to go into with getting that degree? i’m still a little stuck on what i want to do but i really do like the communications major because i feel like it’s a broad good major to choose. anyway thank you so much for this video again!
Hey it’s been a year how’s is it?
How does the study abroad program work? I want to study abroad but financial wise I wants sure if I had to pay out of pocket or there’s a way
URGENT!!! Hey Mackenzie, hope you are doing great. I'm considering CSULB for
my graduate application but as an international student I've been
hearing a lot that it is a extremely commuter school and there will be
very few people left around campus and literally no college life, as
also I've been thinking to apply CSU chico for which I heard quiet
opposite that its a college town and most of the students live around
the campus, so it is kind of urgent for me to decide, could you please
shed some light on this. Thanks in advance for your time.
Hello! Of course. CSULB statistics do show that it is mostly a commuter school. I commuted two years, but lived one year on campus. Everyone who lives on campus is typically from out of state, first time freshman’s, international, or other reasons! I do believe it is not a college town. If you are looking for a college town CSULB would not give you that. BUT, I do believe you can achieve a college life from CSULB for sure. People join fraternities, clubs, sports, etc. Of course around the campus off-site, businesses get most of their business from students, but it is not like some college campuses that have everything & anything for them off campus in walking distance. CSULB is located in a busy area of Long Beach, yet there is a lot to do near by if you had a car or took the bus (other beach cities, the mall area, Aquarium, downtown Long Beach, 2nd street, etc). The school provides either a free or discounted bus pass for the students. I am also a firm believer that for some people in order to achieve the college life you have to put yourself out there to get that! I know plenty of people that experienced so much at CSULB through friends, clubs, sororities, etc and you can for-sure achieve amazing experiences. But if you are hoping for a college town (because I have seen colleges like that before; ASU, USC, etc) then I would choose a college that has that for-sure!
Is there any chance for international students for schlorships? Do we get assistantship ? And on what basis do they give them ?
i think there is
Why non-resident students pay almost $400 extra money per unit?
Because they are not a Cali resident duh lol 😂
How much is the total cost of attendance per year for international students/Non California residents?
For those prices they are listed here : www.csulb.edu/student-records/tuition-and-fees
It depends how many units you choose to partake in. It is $396 on top of each credit and the fees listed in that chart.
@@mackenzieclarke2627 thank you so much!
How many units are the normal amount to take per semester if you’re a full time student and intend to finish in 4 years?
@@rikkemslarsen7955 If you intend to finish in 4 years you should be taking 15 units per semester. That’s about 5 classes unless one of the classes is a 4 unit class. A bachelors requires 120 units completed, so that allows 8 semesters of 15. If you take summer and winter classes (they are more expensive), then you will possibly finish early or just not have so much on your hands. 5 classes is very doable because you can spread them out throughout the week.
@@mackenzieclarke2627 okay thank you! I’m just trying to figure out the cheapest possible way to get a BFA in California. Because I’m international it’s gonna be expensive no matter what but I’d rather it be less expensive ya know 😛
Is Long Beach a safe area? Would you say you feel safe at night/alone/etc on campus and in the LB vicinity in general?
Yes! I think like most cities, there are some unsafe areas that you should be cautious walking at night in, but that is a rule of thumb anywhere you go! The school’s area is safe with residential area, a VA hospital, businesses, etc. There are safety buttons all around campus to contact the on campus police if needed. I had a night class when I lived on campus and would ride my bike back home around 8pm and always felt safe!
Can I transfer credits to study?
Yes you can transfer credits only if they are transferable. It is best to meet with a counselor at the school you are at, so they can tell you the credits that can be transferred. If you come from a community college, it is easier for transferring credits whereas another university is trickier. www.csulb.edu/admissions/transfer-credit-for-incoming-students
can we pay fees semester wise
Yes you can! I believe it is a payment system you set up with the school on your my.csulb account, which can be payed in full or I think in other payments.
