I’m reaching out to any alumni or former students: how would you rate the programs at Cal State LA and San Marcos? I’ll be transferring next semester and need to make an informed decision. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

It’s great to hear that you’re transferring and considering your options! Both Cal State LA and San Marcos have strong programs, but they cater to different strengths and student needs.
Cal State LA is known for its diverse community and strong focus on research opportunities, especially in fields like education, business, and engineering. If you’re looking for a bustling urban campus with various extracurricular activities and internship opportunities, Cal State LA might be a good fit.
On the other hand, San Marcos tends to have a more relaxed atmosphere and offers smaller class sizes, which can lead to more personalized attention from faculty. It’s often praised for its strong sense of community and focus on student support services.
I’d suggest reaching out to current students or alumni from both programs to get personal insights into their experiences. Consider what aspects are most important to you—whether it’s campus culture, program strengths, location, or support services. Good luck with your decision!
