How is this school like?

I will be attending CSULA in the fall of 2016 as a Transfer student. I will be getting my bachelor’s in Sociology. I’m not going to be living on campus, but I’m just wondering how the school is like.
The teachers, administration, the area, food, students, events, ect… Just basically how the school is like!

Thanks.

BTW: I’m also not from this area… I’m from San Francisco, so everything is going to be new to me. I will be living in Anaheim area. How bad will the traffic be going to school every day?
