California State University-Bakersfield

Pros: Great Faculty, Small Classes

I received my BA in Econ from CSUBakersfield before getting my MA in History. The faculty in the Economics department are among the best on campus, and compare very favorably to the professors at any comparable institution. They do an admirable job of...

Pros: none

I don't live on-campus - this review is regarding the regular cafeteria.

I've been attending CSUB since Fall '98 and don't have many good things to say about the cafeteria. The food is not very tasty and is highly priced as well. The...

Pros: faculty
Cons: writing intensive

Cons: No minority staff lecture at this University (all are white!)
