I have just gotten accepted in to CSULB and i have a few questions. How is the social life there? I know freshman have to dorm, so is it fun? I was doing some research and noticed that different dorms have different atmospheres. Which dorms would you think have a better social life? Are there any parties? Tbh I am a very social person and i do not want to go to a school where i can’t have fun. Are the people there friendly? Is it diverse? I know i hear that it is a commuter school, but I would like to know if there is any type of social life, especially because I don’t have any friends going there.
Hi! Im a girl that just got accepted and i feel the same way:/ i wanna go, but ill choose chico over lb if theres no social life. I plan to rush though
niche.com rates Cal State Long Beach a B+ for party scene so I would say that is not bad. I did not go to CSLB but I did go to another school that is perceived as a commuter school and I can tell you that your social scene is determined by how much you put in to it. I highly recommend joining a sorority or fraternity. I joined a sorority and was super involved on campus. The words “commuter school” were lost on me. College was the best 4…(ok, 5.5) years of my life. I made lifelong friends from my sorority and still keep in touch even with some of the fraternity guys. Go for the better school and get involved. And for those who are not sure a sorority is for them, there is more to it than just praying. Each house has a philanthropy that they raise funds for and there is a scholarship officer and committee to keep you on track. It can also open up housing options for you.
Long Beach has a decent reputation for activities. Go on their facebook page.
