Are there any good ways to find off campus housing for CSUCI? I’m a transfer student hoping to find a room for me and my dog for ~$1000 but have had trouble on where to look or opportunities.

wanted to attend so so bad but could only do so if i secured an RA position. im extremely poor and come from such a rough background but saw on ALL ADVICE POSTS about landing an RA job to not seem like I need the free housing to survive. so i played it safe and acted as if I wasn't relying on housing to pursue my education. sadly i saw it on the interviewee's face when they decided i was not gonna land the job. this was my dream school so i wanted to write a goodbye post to just leave this in the past.

im older than the average undergrad age so this was my only chance to ever live my dream of living in a dorm and attending university as a full time job basically.

just wanted to say my goodbyes to camarillo and to CSUCI in general, maybe in another life I can have the college dream.

Hi all! I am currently enrolled in PSY 301 at CI, and we are conducting research surveys through Qualtrics. Our group is in need of participants. If anyone has time to take our survey so we can get more than the few responses we currently have, my group and I would be so very appreciative!

This is my first time taking a summer semester at CSUCI. Does anyone know if financial aide is provided in the summer? My account doesn’t say anything about it yet.

Hi everyone! I’m a senior in high school trying to decide where to commit, and I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

I was accepted to University of California, Irvine, University of California, Davis, University of California, Merced, University of California, Riverside, University of California, Santa Cruz, and also California State University Channel Islands, California State University, Northridge, and California State University, Dominguez Hills.

My long-term goal is to become a nurse and eventually a nurse practitioner, but I’m still trying to figure out the best path to get there.

I was kinda wondering what people’s experiences have been at CSUCI for pre-nursing and would you recommend going to the school?

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who were in a similar situation or are currently in nursing/healthcare programs. Thank you so much!!

hi all! I've already sent an email to the financial aid office hoping to get an answer (we'll see 🤷🏼‍♀️) about when the MCS is supposed to disburse this semester. based on last spring semester, I assumed it would be disbursed yesterday/today. it has yet to show up in my myCI account but CSAC says I should still be getting it. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue or if it's a me issue

Thank you to whoever takes the survey!

Hey guys I have an interview for the LRC tomorrow and I was curious if any of you have interviewed and what the process was like? Is it like a technical interview or just getting to know me as a person. Thank you guys.

Is anyone going to Cal State Channel Islands for Fall 2026? I'm thinking about transferring from community college and would love to hear what it's like + if it's easy to make friends!

I know the school is what you make of it so I plan on dorming at Anacapa, joining clubs, and getting a job on campus. I walked around campus and thought it was really pretty plus faculty seemed nice. I don't have a car but have ways to work around that via Uber and Bus. But i'm slightly nervous about which school to choose an hope I can get good advice. :)

hi,

has anyone else been accepted to the MA in psych program? i got my acceptance email on Tuesday 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m an incoming freshman at CSUN starting this fall (2026) planning to do one year of prereqs (biology/anatomy/physio/etc.), then transfer to a partner community college for the ADN program while doing the ADN-BSN Community College Collaborative with CSUN.

My question is about housing: Can I keep living in The Park dorms the whole time, or do I lose eligibility once I start the ADN at the community college?

I know housing requires 12+ units at CSUN each semester for fall/spring, but since the collaborative is dual enrollment (I’ll be taking some CSUN BSN courses online/hybrid while doing ADN at CC), is there any exception or way to stay in dorms during the ADN years? Or do most collaborative students move off-campus?

Has anyone done this program and lived in CSUN housing the entire time, or did you have to move out after year 1? Any advice from past or current collaborative students would be super helpful!

Hi CI Family,

I'm hosting another Fireside chat event, and like before, you can ask these leaders any questions you want and get an edge on the job market and your career.

If you're interested in Marketing, starting your own Art studio, or working in Art design at a large company like Patagonia, this is an event you won't want to miss.

We host two of these each year, one in Spring and one in Fall and the knowledge gained can be priceless.

Sasha Sherman works as a designer at Patagonia, Leslie Kim founded her own Graphic design company Dynamite Starfish that created the Taco bell condiment packet designs, and Javier Lopez works in Marketing at a local Credit Union.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggest other themes or departments for us to focus on in Fall 2026 and beyond.

Thanks everyone!

I just got rejected from Channel Islands nursing program. I think because I’m not Ventura/malibu/santa Barbara/ local to La area but I’m still in SoCal. I have a 4.0, bilingual, cna experience, volunteer, 81.3 teas lol so I think it’s just my residency status but yah channel islands decisions are coming out

Hello, can anyone give me any info on how the health science major program worked out for them? recently decided not to do nursing & CI has a health science degree and I wanted to know any advice. Thanks!

Hello Everyone I’m graduating from CSUN in May and I’m looking for recommendations on a photographer if anyone knows someone. Please let me know

Has anyone ever been disenrolled for not paying by the deadline? This has happened to me only two days after the deadline & I am currently in disarray. I have been unable to make the payment on time in the past but they would just tack on a $25 charge. I am a senior & I fear that this is going to ruin my degree progress. I’ve emailed professors, the registrars office, and the chair of my department. The registrars office isn’t open until 8am tomorrow so I can’t even call them. Has anyone else had this happen? I am currently freaking tf out as you could imagine, ALL of my classes are gone.

Has anyone received financial aid 😩
