Going for cost and ability to live at home, so with some help from an instructor of mine who suggested a few institutions, I’ve narrowed it down to either CSULB or CSUDH. I’ve read a lot of great things about CSLUB in general, but haven’t heard much at all about CSUDH. I did also read that all of the majors at CSULB are impacted, which is a little worrisome. One thing I liked about CSUDH is that they offer a general anthropology degree, but I’m not sure if getting something like that would be wise or not, as I intend to eventually go to grad school for cultural anthropology.
LB has gotten pretty selective. I don’y know your stats but, you should apply to both and see if they both admit you. If so, spend some time on both campuses, talk to current students, sit in on a class or two and see which is best suited for you.
good luck.
