The parking services are terrible and treat freshman horrible! I got a total of 5 parking tickets and appealed them all and found out I was in the right of way and it was there mistake!

I…read morehad the pleasure of attending here for my post-bacc and had so much to explore around the area. There is a giant park 8 minutes away from campus that is perfect for a picnic, a stroll, or an exercise. I like that this school has more school spirit than some others and they try really hard to spread that Titan Pride with beginning of the semester campus events. Parking has never been a situation for me because of how early my classes were; however, it does get hectic around noon. My experience with the financial aid office as okay. They aren't the fastest and don't even try to call them. They're too busy helping out people in person. You are better off driving back to campus in-person to get assistance with any financial aid problems, which is not ideal if you live 30+ minutes away.

They truly offer a quality education to our community and the campus is so classic and beautiful with many historical buildings.

I am astonished by the disorganization of the class.

Come to find out, my physical textbook didn't correspond to the online textbook. Paragraphs were missing in each chapter, or data statistics were not the same. The textbook was sold to me was published in 2022 and the online textbook was published in 2024. I scratch notes and make highlights physically into my book to help me study information l, hence why I purchased the textbook. When attempting to fill in information that was missing, it became ok much to do in each chapter. I informed my professor that I am getting chapter questions incorrect due to questions being asked that were not in my physical textbook. My professor's response was "...printed textbooks are published every 3 to 4 years. By the time it gets to print what was written is 9 months old before the actual publish date... Unfortunately, we cannot stop the world from changing." Is this something where I say "you're right Professor. What was I thinking?" Why do I spend money on outdated material? It appears that the material is sold at the Fullerton College bookstore because the professor approved it. I ask again, why do I have an outdated textbook that was sold to me by the school?

The policies and procedures at this institution are archaic. Departments that should be working…read moretogether--like Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy--often have no idea what the others are doing, even when they're addressing the same student requirements. Professors within these departments teach drastically different content and expectations for what are supposed to be standardized courses. The curriculum hasn't been updated in years--circa 2005--and it shows. Policies, procedures, and codes of conduct are inconsistently enforced. Transferring is an entirely separate headache: departments pass off responsibilities to each other, and overwhelmed, underpaid staff members without adequate knowledge leave students to pay the price. There are other schools better equipped to help students meet today's challenges and develop practical life skills. And while this institution promotes a Christian identity, it often feels like it only scratches the surface--leaning more toward spiritual bypass than genuine transformation. Bottom line? You deserve better. Keep looking.

Little do people realize that Cal State Fullerton has quite an extensive collection of carnivorous…read moreplants. I discovered this during my first or second semester when the LA Weekly ran a story on a club of remarkable individuals who grew the meat-eating vegetation as a hobby. Listed among the members was Ed Read, who ran the greenhouses near CSUF's McCarthy Hall. A year or so later, I took a tour of the greenhouses with Mr. Read himself. He was so very helpful while also laid-back. The man really knows his plants, and since this is something he also does when not on the clock he really loves to talk about them. If you go to take pictures, he'll walk around with you, tell you about each plant, and write the name of it on a piece of paper and hold it in front of the plant for you so you'll be able to identify it later. CSUF also has several specimens of titan arum (a.k.a. corpse flowers), the plant that smells like rotting meat when it blooms (which is considered a big deal when it does blossom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_publicised_titan_arum_blooms_in_cultivation). The greenhouses just tend to go unnoticed by the general student population, and they're quite a gem. Ed cultivates all sorts of carnivorous plants, some of them rare in the States like Albany Pitcher Plants from Perth, Australia. It's completely free to walk around the greenhouses, but it would be best to call Ed ahead of time so he knows who you are and what you're doing.
