I really like the diversity in CSUN. Students are able to experience different cultures through their classmates and friends. The most memorable experience for me was when I become one of the interns that started a wellness program designed to help improve the lifestyle of CSUN faculty and staff. I love helping and this program helped me to do so. I recommend that all students to be involved because through this they will get to know people and this will make it easy for them to adjust in the college life. Also, it is a good way to network and eventually they'll see the benefits of networking when they start to look for jobs.

I am a first year transfer student at CSUN. Overall I believe CSUN need a lot of improvements in all areas of the school because it is very boring concerning its social life .Lastly, I love the psychology program at CSUN and the professors.
