Hostel:

I live at home to save money. I also typically bring food to school. On-campus living is VERY pricy and off campus is a little less but still too much for living in the suburbs. I would like to move closer to campus but am dreading paying for it.

This was the closest state school to me which made it appealing because I could save money and also attend a decent school. They had the major I wanted which made sense to me. I also liked the idea of a big school but a small program. The school has 40,000 people but my program I see the same faces in most classes.

Hostel:

I lived off-campus. I rented a room in a home and had multiple roommates. I found the rooms online, through Craigslist and Facebook. My residence was near campus, less than 5 miles away. For a brief time, I commuted from my parents? home to school, because affordable housing was difficult to find.

It was one of the top master's program in California for psychology. Also, the program was one of the few that had advanced statistical analysis classes such as multivariate statistics and structural equation modelling. I also had a working relationship with faculty members in the program. The school was also near home.

Hostel:

I did the dorms in my freshman year. I liked it but I also like being off campus more since it is a bit cheaper than living on campus. I also liked the vibe of being on campus but it was a bit pricy for me and I was working a lot so I couldn't enjoy the dorm experience.

I currently go to CSUN as a CTVA (Film/Television) Student and I love the opportunities I get to have as a CSUN CTVA student. Compared to many film schools in SoCal. CSUN is very affordable and many of my professors do work within the Film/TV industry in Los Angeles.

The program offered was the best fit for my individual needs. I liked the campus and the environment as well as the faculty and their areas of research. Lastly, the program gave me internships that would allow me to be able to gain experience as well as potentially get a job right out of college.
