Can improve on providing more courses to the cs students.it would be nice if they remove 2 course cs rule.and you would get view point of bay area from csueb campus.

Accreditation is meaningless. The administration violates ferpa laws left and right so they shouldn't be receiving federal funds and the math and cs department are the most unintelligent and incompetent "teachers" in the country. If you still enjoy academics, don't go here because they will ruin that for you. I think a criminal record would look better on a resume than csu eastbay.

So I went there for the orientation Day. CSU East Bay's orientation day is a great way to get started on your college journey. The day is packed with information about the university, its resources, and how to succeed in college. You'll also have the chance to meet other new students and get involved in campus life.

One of the things I loved most about CSU East Bay's orientation day was the welcoming atmosphere. The staff and students were all so friendly and helpful, and they really made me feel like I belonged. I also appreciated the fact that the day was well-organized and informative. I learned a lot about the university and how to succeed in college.
Funfact: They're building Science building #3. I am so excited, hope you check it out.

CSU East Bay is located in Hayward, California, a city in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. The university has two campuses: the Hayward campus and the Concord campus.

The Hayward campus is located in the hills above Hayward, with views of the San Francisco Bay and the surrounding area which is where the orientation Day happened. The campus is home to most of the university's academic and administrative buildings, as well as the student union, the library, and the athletic facilities.
The location of CSU East Bay is a major draw for me. The university is close to both San Francisco and Oakland, and it is also easily accessible by public transportation. The campus is also surrounded by a variety of parks and open space, which makes it a great place to live and study.

Its a great school. The professors on campus in the major I was in for my undergraduates were all great. The student live is also good. Made a lot of good friends. The only downside is sometimes the administration sucks. They lack a lot in customer service sometimes. But they are dedicated and when they work, boy do they work great! I wish there was more fluidity among the admin staff, but they work hard and are under pressure a lot too.

Plan on coming back for a masters program which I am looking forward to. I lived in hayward my whole life, and despite East Bay always being here, it is not a bad school at all.

This is my third quarter here in CSU East Bay and I am really loving my experience here. This is a campus that has both diverse students and faculty members. I am a business major and have really enjoyed almost all the classes I have taken here. Most teachers are very helpful and will help you during their office hours/ by email and even through the phone.
Regarding the administration, I have never had any problems with them. I think it depends on you really. If you check you mycsueb regularly it has all the administrative information you need. They have a "to-do" list, with phone numbers to respective departments if you're having trouble. They even send out email as reminders if you're missing a document or something else. You can easily make appointments if you wish to meet with a counselor. Also, they are pretty good about answering your questions through the phone as well..
Overall a very good campus, at least it has been for me for the past 7 months.

I love CSUEB! I've never had much of a problem. I will admit sometimes administration and financial aid can be a pain but classes, professors, the people here have made me love my experience! I also dorm and it isn't too crazy just because it's a commuter campus but i've still had some of the best nights at the dorms. It is what you make it, but there is a lot of fun and good times up on this hill! 🙂

It's a nice looking school but if you drop a class and ask for a refund GOOD LUCK! That money is gone, you'll never see it again.

I dropped a class that I paid over $900 for and according to their website you're entitled to a percentage refund depending on when you drop it. Their website said I would be entitled to 82% of this money back because I dropped after 2 weeks. Then when I go to the cashiers office the lady says "it doesn't make a difference" I'm like yes it does I'm out all this money for a class I'm no longer taking. She's like "but you're still taking more than 6 units. You only get a refund if you drop and are only take less than 6 units." Then she just kept saying "okay? okay?" shoving my refund request form back to me, to get rid of me. The website doesn't say anything about me having to take less than 6 units in order to get a refund. I felt scammed and ripped off.

I'm a new transfer student and this is how they treat me for picking their school.
