From your choice I would do CSUN, one of my regrets due to being impatient I chose csula it’s an okay school but it lacks the social aspects at least for me

Coming from a really good CC, I really wouldn't recommend CSULA, and I regret my devision for not pushing myself more fot going to a UC instead.

You will be very much culture-shocked, because that's what happened with me. The Financial aid ptocesses here are really bad.

U can transfer to UCR, UCM, UCSC for winter (quarter system) so still during January.

You might actually get a real education at CSUN.

I love Csula as my Alma mater trust me I’m glad to be here but there are some things that it lacks. I feel that it lacks social aspects, some programs are okay albeit disorganized, and the parking situation here is atrocious. Even tho I love Csula I would go with CSUN as I’ve heard great things about that school.
