Heyy
So I have been deciding betweenn CSULB and SDSU for a different major, but comm-related minor

and I started having a lot more clarity on the choice I might make (depending on UC admissions) by going onto the website and looking at the required courses. I noticed that SDSU requires my major to have a minor and it is built into my units needed without extending my time at school. Also SDSU had more courses that suited my path.

As far as LB vs Fullerton, I used to spend every single week in both LA county and OC, and Fullerton is very central to a lot of regions, versus LB being nestled in the corner of LA that is distant from what most people like doing in LA. Both cities will be TONS of traffic, but LB is only 15min drive to Huntington Beach and is actually an easy drive, I’ve done it a lot. Fullerton being very central and next to the CC and next to the high school, is almost impossible to get to any city without traffic & is a highly impacted campus.

As someone who has been to the bars in both cities plenty of times, there’s tons in Fullerton but you’ll probably end up at the same 3 bars, standing in lines to get in. In LB, there seems to be a bigger variety of bar types (dive, college-y, speakeasy, etc.) & you’re actually near the ocean, hard not to see it everyday, versus being in Fullerton and it taking between 30min-2hrs in traffic to get to any oc beach. I was stuck next to Fullerton way too many times at nearly 0mph, but every time I went to LB, getting around the city was easy, but going from LB to DTLA was terrible.
