I'm going to apply there and I'm curious about what current students think of it. I went to visit it for a tour and I mostly liked it, although the campus did seem extremely small. I am also wondering what grades and test scores people got in with. And, do people mostly dorm and live in an apartment or commute?

Here are my stats:

2.5 gpa
taking SAT next week. expecting 1850 - 2000

Ummm, your GPA and expected SAT score are quite um...different?
Maybe that's just what I think. xD

I'm currently a freshman dorming this year there. (:
It's an awesome campus; people and classes are great from what I hear and can tell.
The campus is actually pretty big to me. o_o
It may seem small, but it's beautiful.

I got in with a GPA of 3.6-3.8? My SAT score was 1680 or something.
Fairly easy school to get into.
It's known for being a large commuter school, and the dorms fill-up fast.
37,000 students registere approx. and there's limited suites.
There's also currently still a waiting list for the rooms. o_o!
There's also alot of shared apartments across the street from campus, which isn't so bad I hear.

I think everyone I know that is attending enjoys the school pretty much. (:
Good luck applying and on the SATs!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I absolutely love it!
Dorming is also an experience that you wouldn't want to miss if it's possible for you.

Well the thing is I received a 1.0 my sophomore year (I know I know horrible) and a 3.3 my junior year which averages out to about 2.5. I also went to SAT school.

Oh wow, that's still major improvement!

I think you still could get in okay. (:
It's not as hard as a UC, and plus...you avoid essays for application.

There's a pretty large amount of asians here lol.
I'm not sure about the statistics, but I'll say there's alot because of the area the campus is located. (:
You've got Little Saigon and the Korean District about 25 minutes away, and in the other direction, Chinese and more Korean areas!

I'm not sure if it's necessarily expensive to get an apartment.
I just find it more of a hassle to pay bills for electricity, internet, cable, gas, water, etc.

Dorms aren't really hard to get.
It's basically mere luck if you don't turn in your housing application/packet on time.
That's the important part! Mail in the stuff as soon as you get it!
I was #21 on the waiting list for dorms...and by mid-July they notified me that I got a spot!

[RE.]

Theres a big asian population in so cali. So the majority of schools in so cali will have a good amount of asian students.

i am currently renting a room in a house for $580. though i have to ride my bike to school in the freakin heat. BLAH! ahhah

IMO csuf is a really easy school to get into. Dont really know much about the school because all of my classes are in the new business building.

[xkrndreamer]

i attend there and it's currently my fifth year (sadly)
i think it's more populated by caucasians due to the bordering cities of placentia and yorba linda
and yes the campus is small
parking can be a pain due to the overcrowding of the school (especially the first week!)
you'll probably get in with those scores.

people usually commute
i get shocked when i hear that they commute from temecula, san clemente, and so on
i think i read in the daily titan that the school is building new dorms
you might wanna check up on that

[RE.]

what the f'ers i hear rain! soo not prepared. im gonna get drenched today.

[katastrophe.kandy]

Yeah ;(
The ground is wet today! T_T
I was unprepared as well.
>:

[musicalflow.]

CSUF first time student here
Well, CSUF is somewhat small but I guess the distance from the dorms to the campus is quite long!
I have to take that distance everyday and it's so sad =( Especially the heat.. can't wait for winter!
Fullerton is really friendly and it's been a great experience dorming here. I met lots of great people & have became quite close
This year I heard they accepted 10,000 freshies!

[RE.]

Yeah ;(
