What as your CSUDH and CSUSB experience?

I am wondering others’ experience at CSUDH and CSUSB. I am an oos freshman applicant from North Carolina and yes I know these are commuter schools and I am okay with that :)) :))

What is the reason you would choose those schools over the public schools in North Carolina (which would likely be less expensive)? Would you be living with relatives near those schools and commuting from there?

Those are some unlikely choices for Cal States in So Cal. Are those the only CSUs you applied to?
