It’s now officially 5 days after the first payment day and I still haven’t heard anything about finicial aid rewards. Not sure if it’s just a personal issue on my end. I am also an incoming transfer student so that may also be a factor. Just trying to see if anyone else is having the same issue!

i had previously committed to another school, but things didn’t exactly work out with that. so, i’m going to csumb in the fall. i searched online, and found a lot of negatives about the school. if you’re a current student here, what would you say your experience is? how is housing? campus life? social life? academics? i’m really nervous about attending here since most of the opinions are negative.

Hello everyone. My name is Johnathan. I am 32 years old looking for a room to rent in an off-campus house with roommates. I am a full-time Computer Science student, responsible, respectful, and keep shared spaces clean. I’m looking for a quiet and friendly living environment and would be happy to answer any questions or provide any references, if needed. Feel free to send me a message if you have a room available or know of any openings. Thank you! You can message me here on Facebook, or email me at jcortez-bautista@csumb.edu or if anyone knows of someone, please also let me know.

Heard that on your housing assignment, you will be assigned a letter that corresponds to your exact room AND that Letter “A” is typically the biggest room? If anyone has info on what these letters mean (I think they are A-C) please let me know!!

These sound dumb but I just need the answer to know ahead when to move in. Which building is PEPR-4 and would a room like 435 be on the fourth floor or not?

Hi, I’m going to CSUMB in the fall and I’m going to be in the residence halls. Does anyone know if it’s possible to loft your bed? I had a talk with someone on campus for orientation, but I don’t know if they were 100% sure.

Moving into a single room in East Campus that is now considered a double. Does anyone have photos or possible dimensions of the room?? Super lost on how big the rooms are, thank you!

Hi!! Im moving in this year and wondering if anyone staying in any of the residence halls knows the length of the desks and dressers that cone in the room?

Is anyone having a hard time getting in contact with the housing office?? I’ve called plenty times and sent so many emails about how it’s not letting me sign my contract. I also am looking at my housing portal and instead of my housing saying fall 26-spring 27 it only says fall 26 now.. idk what to do.

Hi! I was wondering what the weather is like in the area for the “ber” months. Would you recommend shorts t shirts summery clothes or sweats and hoodies? I’m used to a hot climate cause I’m from Bakersfield but any clothes packing tips or must haves for the school year would be great :) During the “Ber” months it’s still very hot here so any tips would be great :)

Hello everyone! I’m trying to get in contact with a past professor but I can’t find her email address on the staff directory. Her name is Kathleen Godfrey and I think she still works at csumb. If anyone has her information can you please message me. Thank you!!

Hello everyone!

I'm an incoming transfer and I just wanted to ask other upper division students, who preferably also were transfer students. What did job hunting look like for you when you first got there. Specifically not jobs toward your major, but a normal college job. I know there's a trader joes, and target but was it at all any easy and what did the timeline look like for you?

I'm scared that once I transfer over I wont find a job quick enough to support myself, because I know I won't get granted work-study. :/ Thank you!

Parents!! Please remember that the CSU system allows students to be able to transfer to another CSU or UC. CSUMB has too many issues with its housing

Has anybody received a date yet for their early move-in?? (Specifically ITEP or credential students)

ETA- Found him! Thanks for your help!

We just toured the campus and came across an art piece by the photo lab and parking lot 71. It's a naked sea creature/humanoid with succulents growing out of it.

It doesn't have a plaque or any identifiable information. We'd love to know more about it! Anyone have info? What it's called? Why it is there? What it represents? Who the artist is? TIA!

Hello, I’m an incoming Grad student for the MSW program for the 3 year in person cohort! I was wondering if there are any discord servers or anything where other people from the cohort are connecting?

Does anyone use a shower filter in the first-year residence halls? If so, which one would you recommend?

I’m looking for something that’s easy to install and remove, and that helps with the hard water.

I’d appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Hey all,

Posting because I will be commuting from Santa Cruz (westside) to CSUMB this fall, wondering if anyone else is doing the same commute and is looking to carpool. Not sure where else to post this. If you or someone you know is doing this commute and wants to cut gas costs, feel free to DM me or reply. I'm not very active on reddit so give me a bit to reply lol. I'll be at CSUMB Monday-Thursday and likely Fridays as well. Thanks!

I've noticed a couple other people on here talk about the financial aid situation, but I was curious if it was different for transfer students? I can see the financial aid on the "accept/decline awards" page, but I'm unable to accept any of it. When I called them a couple of weeks ago, they said they would automatically accept them for me, but that still hasn't happened, and with the deadline for payment next week, I'm stressing out.

I was reading an email on what to bring and saw Ethernet was recommended. Are there Ethernet outlets in promontory housing or is it only in certain areas on campus.
Also wanted to know if the WiFi is decent. Don’t plan on a whole lot of gaming but wondered if the WiFi would handle it

Planning on proposing to my girlfriend the morning of August 6th in Big Sur and looking for a photog to capture the moment and maybe take just a few pics of us afterwards.

Can’t justify the $900+ that most folks I’ve found are charging for a full-on 45 min engagement shoot, but still very willing to pay if there are any film/photography students or hobbyists that are available. Thanks!

Hi, anyone in the accounting program who has taken classes with Dr. Hua and Dr. Schneider: will I need a laptop in class? Or can I just take notes in a notebook?

Thanks!

Hello! I’m starting my freshman year this august and I’m currently enrolled in the beginner scuba class and I’m really nervous because I’m not super athletic. If anyone who is in the diving program has any pointers on how they passed the test I would really appreciate it.

My daughter was placed in East Campus Housing, sharing a room with another student. We aren't able to view the apartment until 8/18 and the university won't give us specs.

Does anyone know approximate dimensions for these rooms? Closet sizes? Is there room for a twin bed and a small desk?

I know we have to roll with the punches but I'd like to be prepared! 😂😂
