Who's going to CSUN?

DoVip · 09-23-2004, 07:48 PM

I might going to CSUN in Fall 2006.

CatoCooper13 · 09-23-2004, 09:16 PM

Kewl beans! I planned on going to CSUN when I first finished high school, but decided not to -- and attended the local junior college for 8 years. When I did move to Los Angeles, I attended the El Camino College down by Inglewood, but only for a week as I moved back up to Northern California. Ha.
At least, get a chance to experience Los Angeles and its fast lane life. I did...for 3 years - had both good and bad experiences, but well worth it.

I'm sorry. I don't go to there.

hanabithief · 10-09-2004, 04:01 PM

i want to go to csun. i haven't finish the application process yet, so i don't know if i'm going to be going. if i did, it would be in fall 2005.

10-26-2004, 10:52 AM

Graduated from CSUN.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about CSUN.

CSUN is good if you are into liberal arts, health related fields, teaching, psychology etc......

But I will never live in Los Angeles again!!! During college years, I survived fires, riots, earthquakes, cockroaches, massive traffic jams on 405, endless bar hoppings and drunken trips to/from Tijuana.

But enjoy your stay there :-)

Pfft, all degrees there are good. Drama, Business, Engineering, Liberal Studies/Education/Teaching (same thing), Pre-med Biology/Physics/Chemistry, Psychology, Recreation, Kinesiology (physical education), Computer Science, Mathematics, Geology, Geography, History, and.... Deaf Studies.

I miss it, honestly. The hazards you mentioned weren't quite as bad as you make them out to be, considering other places have it just as bad with natural disasters, crime, and traffic.

Sophia26 · 11-19-2004, 08:52 PM

Not me but I live in the area, don't I count? I would love to meet other deaf students; I'm so lonely

except art

it has art major, but it was not a strong major, not something i wanted in it. thats why i left CSUN. it was a quiet experience living in a hot & dry climate. i enjoyed it very much except experienced some bad dehydration

good luck on going to CSUN! such a nice campus. i miss california!

TTT · 01-19-2005, 11:33 PM

I like the deaf Orientation and some deaf event...
I like the Cafetria, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway on campus, very cool.

but

1. You have to share Dorm room with hearing people.
2. They do have dorm building for all deaf but it is always full. And
hearing people who major in Deaf Studies stay there.
3. some Dorm don't have elevators... you have to walk up those steps
with luggages and heavy things.
4. Seem like most deaf students are majoring in Deaf Studies.
5. I was trying to join Sorority there, but they wouldn't let me join.
6. I was majoring in film at CSUN, I made good grades, but I couldn't
join the Film Club.
7. It is hard to get interpreter. Sometimes they sent me 2 interpreters
for one hour class.
8. And you may or may not stay at the dorm room next season,,, they
picked your name... but when they don't pick your name, you have to
live on an off campus dorm or rent apartment.... ewww.
9. California is TOO HOT!!!!!!!!!
10. People are not really friendly there.... make me miss Gallaudet. Even tho I don't like Gallaudet... but some people there are more hospitable. I know
that I am the worst roommate from HELL. But I am spoiled. I should have learn to live with people.

Anyway, I think CSUN should own some of those apartments or build
more dorms... cause it isn't fair for current students to not have dorm
room for next season.

The education system is fine, I wish Gallaudet is like CSUN....
but I wish Gallaudet have taco bell, and stuff like that.
ANd I wish CSUN people were like Gallaudet friendly people.

But I guess it will never happen.

That is the only problem I have at Gallaudet - education system and cafetria arrangement.
And the problem with CSUN I have - Dorm, unfriendly people, interpreter and weather.

That's not necessarily true. I only did that one semester with 1 hearing roommate, and that was because I came into the dorms in the Spring, not Fall. Kick ass good roommate, though, better than many of the other deaf roommates I had....

Again, not necessarily true. Deaf people who choose to live in the deaf dorm have priority over hearing people; I will give you that the space is very limited as the whole dorm is only 3 stories tall.

I agree with this -- the deaf dorm doesn't have an elevator. To be fair, people who couldn't use the elevator were given first floor rooms.

Not true. Several were, yes, but most, like me, were in the wide variety of fields offered at the university.

I had the hardest time getting interpreters for Tuesdays and Thursday classes. If it was MWF, I could easily get 2 interpreters for one class. The incredible problem was, of course, that professors only like courses on T and Th, and of course the deaf people can only choose their classes on what's available.

I agree. There were not enough dorms for students. Of course, then again, living off campus gave me a TON of more freedom than living in the dorms. After a while, living on campus ceases to be fun -- distractions, pranks, the fire alarms being pulled, etc. It's at that time that I was ready to move out somewhere with the rest of the relatively mature population of Northridge.

I guess the CSUN people may have seen right through you about being spoiled and stuck up. You sow what you reap.

I'm not going to suggest that CSUN is perfect, but it suited me and those 10 issues TTT listed weren't an issue for me. They didn't interfere with my schooling so much that I had to go somewhere else to finish up. I got a great job with a degree from CSUN, which is internationally known in the business, entertainment, and education community. I'm happy!

When I was staying at Dorm 6, I had 2 hearing roommates.

Again, not necessarily true. Deaf people who choose to live in the deaf dorm have priority over hearing people; I will give you that the space is very limited as the whole dorm is only 3 stories tall.

Why they placed 3 deaf people in Dorm 12. And I was placed in Dorm 12 in my first semester.

I agree with this -- the deaf dorm doesn't have an elevator. To be fair, people who couldn't use the elevator were given first floor rooms.

Okay!!!!! I got this right.

Not true. Several were, yes, but most, like me, were in the wide variety of fields offered at the university.

Okay I got half right.

Were you trying to join Alpha Sigma Theta? Or another one?

Yes, Alpha Sigma Theta.

Why not? I had no problems joining clubs there.

Well I called CBS, Columbia Broadcast for Students... and
they hanged up on me... won't let me join.

I had the hardest time getting interpreters for Tuesdays and Thursday classes. If it was MWF, I could easily get 2 interpreters for one class. The incredible problem was, of course, that professors only like courses on T and Th, and of course the deaf people can only choose their classes on what's available.

Well if we all just have one interpreter, then no problem. Just don't
sign language when the professors were doing the attendant roll call,,,
I don't need to know all the name of the students and to know if they are
here or absent. Relax their hands... they don't need to sign to unneccessary stuff.

I agree. There were not enough dorms for students. Of course, then again, living off campus gave me a TON of more freedom than living in the dorms. After a while, living on campus ceases to be fun -- distractions, pranks, the fire alarms being pulled, etc. It's at that time that I was ready to move out somewhere with the rest of the relatively mature population of Northridge.

Okay, I got that one right. I was tooooooo scare to live off campus.

Screw you, NY and DC are too cold! Different strokes for different folks, I tell you.

I hate cold too. But I am Black, my hair get tooo nappy cause of sweat.

I guess the CSUN people may have seen right through you about being spoiled and stuck up. You sow what you reap.

you reap what you sow..... NOT you sow what you reap.
I am not being stuck up.... I am always quiet, shy, and nervous.

I'm not going to suggest that CSUN is perfect, but it suited me and those 10 issues TTT listed weren't an issue for me. They didn't interfere with my schooling so much that I had to go somewhere else to finish up. I got a great job with a degree from CSUN, which is internationally known in the business, entertainment, and education community.

I was going to leave CSUN anyway,,, because I didn't want
to start from the bottom... I had to take pre major film classes....
They wouldn't transfer some film classes I took at Gallaudet. I got upset about it.
I don't want to take film history at CSUN... cause I already took that at Gallaudet. So I just went back to Gallaudet....
I was just curious about CSUN.... it was just okay.

I'm happy!

So anyway... Glad you were happy.

01-20-2005, 12:03 PM

TTT, I was happy at CSUN too.

Life is never fair so I made best out of what I had. It is called having good attitude.

TTT · 01-20-2005, 12:16 PM

I don't think it is my attitude...
I think people are being mean, prejudice, and all because the way
I look.

I didn't have Treacher Collins Syndrome, if I was normal... then
I would have a nice life and a job, and marriage.

Lets not go off thread here. You need to read Alex's warning from yesterday about people going off thread. I will report you to Alex now for going WAY off the point. Every post you make, it is always about YOU.

Life does not revolve around a single individual.

TTT · 01-20-2005, 12:32 PM

I am tired of people always comparing themselves to me.
I am trying to tell you that I had a hard time everywhere I go...
Yes you and Dennis have an easy life.

But I didn't. It isn't about my attitude, how many times
do I have to tell you that.

Black people tell white people, they don't understand.

Normal people such as you and Dennis don't understand...

Look at your face... of course you have an easy time....
but I didn't. So stop comparing me to you.

Fine, go tattle on Alex.

Dennis · 01-20-2005, 01:18 PM

TTT, when were you at CSUN? I don't see any dates stated by you so far. Perhaps I did meet you while I was there.

What was the deal with AST? Were you asked to pledge? Did you only go to rush? Did you know any of the members before you rushed/pledged? I know many of the members closely and if they remember you, would you like me to find out why you weren't accepted?

I don't remember a Columbia Broadcast for Students organzation, but anyway, what did they actively turn you away or did you just give up at the first sign of resistance?

TTT · 01-20-2005, 02:41 PM

to CSUN from Fall 2001 to Fall 2002. A year and a half.

I always do that... I went to all Black college here in Memphis...
for a year and a half and leave... then I came back.
Just like I did at Gallaudet, I stay there for a year and a half, then
leave... I came back.

I am a college hopper... I wanted to check out the college
to see that I like this college better or not.

I went to FSU,, stayed there for a year... I hated it, never
went back. I don't like CSUN, so I am not going back there.

Yes I know you, Are you the tall, skinny guy, with glasses, you are white,
and you were a member of Lambda fraternity, Your last name start with an S.
Aren't you married to that short woman? I saw her with you at the Boardwalk... was it the Boardwalk something... it was one of the deaf
Orientation week event... but I didn't go camping. But I went to the Boardwalk... I forgot the rest of the name, where they have music, singers, shops, Hard Rock Cafe... and stuff like that. It was fun. Am I right?

Nobody asked me to pledge for AST. I did know a few... maybe 2.

Rush? Is it the one that you in the Sorority house and them doing
silly things and play games. And I remember playing football with the fratnerity and Sorority... an asian girl knocked me down, and I fell backward on my butt and my head bumped the ground, but I was okay afterward, just a little hurt. No you don't have to find out for me why I wasn't accepted.

Yeah I gave up the first sign of resistance, what is that mean?

The more you jump from college to college, the harder it will become for you. When colleges look at your application, they will find out that you jumped from college to college too much. It makes them think that you won't stay at their college, so they will get picky and give you a hard time.

e · 01-21-2005, 07:20 AM

mmm, i dont know if i know you. i attended CSUN in fall 2001-spring 2002 but i left california in august 2002. i joined AST then i withdrew in early spring.

CSUN is not that bad, it has gorgeous campus, perfect weather (compared to NY), and most of all it was a pretty good school. only thing is i wish i didnt live "in" deaf community, things would have been better if i didnt but of course i still love to socialize with deafies. the main reason i left was the major, it didnt have what i wanted & what i like so i had to leave to avoid wasting $. instead, im attending community college to save $.
i think CSUN has good deaf community, it can be a little too much when living with them other than that its just like a mainstreamed school with lots of deafies.

No I don't put all of the colleges on my application...
Because I don't feel like asking colleges to send
them transcripts... and
it would be too expensive to pay $5 or $10 transcript fee.

So I just put down Gallaudet or my favorite college I like to attend.

I am used to socialize with deafies....
I just don't like the hearing people...

Things would be fine if hearing people go away.

CSUN is not that bad, it has gorgeous campus, perfect weather (compared to NY), and most of all it was a pretty good school. only thing is i wish i didnt live "in" deaf community, things would have been better if i didnt but of course i still love to socialize with deafies. the main reason i left was the major, it didnt have what i wanted & what i like so i had to leave to avoid wasting $. instead, im attending community college to save $. i think CSUN has good deaf community, it can be a little too much when living with them other than that its just like a mainstreamed school with lots of deafies.
