What are your thoughts on CSUMB?

<p>Ive lived in Monterey for the past 2 years, and I really like the area and would like to stay near all the people I know, but Im really not sure about CSUMB. Ive heard awful things about the school, but Ive also met people who went there and loved the school, so Im pretty confused right now. :/</p>

<p>I really want to like the school, but I dont want to risk going there and being one of the many people who hate and regret it. Its still my number two school, behind Humboldt State, but I dont know if liking the area and staying near my friends is enough reason to go to CSUMB. What is your experience with CSUMB?</p>
