Student 101: California State University Northridge

By Michael Werner


If you see an intense looking guy donning a matador hat on its head, then you've reach California State University, Northridge. With flocks of students everywhere running around and congratulating everyone, I am pretty sure another one of our teams took a big win.

California State University is diverse and established with regards to its programs. They feature a ton of courses and majors that enables them to accommodate thousands of students yearly. Their list varies from education to several styles of sciences which include health, social, human and interdisciplinary sciences. It really is especially best for those that would like to get straight into arts because they own high-tech cinematic devices for you to use. Their business program is also well-known across the state as the best in the west. They generate well-minded and more than functional alumnus that are set to deal with their future head on.

For individuals who are worried about their finances, the university is open arms with regards to aiding you in that aspect. There are many possibilities and sources to receive federal financing and scholarship grants. Just do your time in completing those application forms and keeping a good grade. A few of the programs and professors may get you involved into more work than you'd like, but looking back, I came to the realization that those are the mentors that I remember most. All those people who pushed you further than you could possibly ever imagine and who helped bring you outside of your comfort zone. They are the main reason why I seemed to be qualified to deal with bosses and also all breeds of clientele once I commenced my profession.

Aside from that, make sure you get into all the campus happenings there. Be involved in sports or in the Greek society. Yes, it's a good place to build up your contacts and network. With their deaf community being prominent and active, you could also see deaf events. It is really eye-opening and inspiring for anyone to learn about what they are doing and their own personal struggles and triumphs. Every week, you are treated with mini concerts from current artists such as LMFAO, Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco as well as other outings and game nights.

Most of all, the top thing that I loved here the most are the lecture series. It is always good for anyone to get a firsthand account of different fields of study and careers along with learning the ways of the industry. It definitely helped me decide on what profession suits me the most and not to mention, getting the opportunity to brag about meeting prominent figures such as Maya Angelou and Cornell West.
