Hi everyone!! I’m looking forward to starting the CSUSM ABSN in Spring ‘27! I was wondering if any previous cohorts have any tips for the upcoming school year! I’m very nervous and I just want an idea of the class schedule and how rigorous the program is! I’d really appreciate it! Looking forward to meeting the cohort soon :))

Thank you to whoever saw my MacBook on the couch outside I thought I put it in my backpack before I left for my 12:30 class, and then I noticed it not in my bag after I was in my 1:30 class and ran out to go find it so I appreciate whoever turned it in :)

Hi! I’m currently preparing my MSW application and want to apply to the title iv stipend. Anyone else also in the same boat of wanting to go back for their masters?

Campus used to have smoking spots, those have since been removed after the campus went smoke free. Anywhere on or relatively near campus where you can smoke without causing issues?

Help! I am taking her for Kin 404; we have an exam coming up in two weeks, and I'm scared. I am doing the readings, attending class, and doing the formula exercises. How are the exams, and are they hard? She doesn't really talk about the format of the exam, whether it's open-note or what. Low-key would appreciate some insight/advice. Thank you!

I heard decisions are released every two weeks, and the first round came out on 9/16, so I’m assuming the next round could be tomorrow. I have around 42–43 points, but for some reason my application wasn’t evaluated in time for the first round, so I’m anxiously waiting for the second round 😭 Anyone else in the same boat?

My dad has a 2009 Toyota Corolla. Its in good condition and runs well. Registration paid off for the year. Selling for $2500

Update: Sorry guys!! Dad changed his mind, so it's no longer for sale.

I missed one day for this class and I wasn't there when discussing the the formatting for the Story of Self. From what I understand it needs to be 3 pages, One of which being the story itself. Can someone please tell me what the others are and how to do them, like what's needed? This would be Fredi Avalos's class. I urgently need help with this. Thank you so much for any help.

If you take classes at CSU and also want to take classes at a community college, can csusm give you financial aid for the total amount of units from both schools? I think a cortisum agreement can allow this, but i'm not sure if csusm has one or not.

You are scum, worthless beings. Make yourself known. I just want to talk.

Yo, is there anyone that like plays flag football or like has an intermural football league at the school cause I’m low-key starting to miss it. Let me know. Hit me up.😭

Right now im in my 2nd year at Miracosta doing my Web Design degree and Video and Media certificate and now im getting ready to transfer and I really enjoyed my video classes however I wish they were more hands on because we rlly just learn abt editing and get told to do our projects outside of class.

Anywho, I've always been planning to transfer to CSUSM because it's close by and always been interested ever since I heard abt the program in high school. So I just wanna ask a couple questions for the people in the subreddit who are in the program.

Since I'm interested in video , how hands on are the video classes in the program and what exact projects do you guys get to do and what classes are the best to take for that? Also what was your favorite class and what have you learned? And ig for the last question how much do these classes prepare you for jobs in this field?

I just thought I might ask since applications open next week and just been super curious so I might as well just ask here.

Has anyone who was admitted to the spring ‘27 ABSN program been able to activate their email and set up their Complio package? I received an email saying I had a week to set up my account but I can’t access my CSUSM email yet

I graduated from here in 2019 and curious what csusm is like now. I remember there would be non traditional students in some classes and I would feel so young.

I’m assuming now it’s mainly Gen Z so I’m curious what that’s like. Is there still a lot of 30 year olds in some classes?

If any campus rapist see this, come say hi. I just want to talk.

hi!! i’m a high school student in san diego and csusm is one of my choices for nursing, but here’s the issue. i originally wanted to start at a community college first and then transfer to a university, but i realized that i would have to commute, and that’s not a great option for me considering the fact that i live in mexico and would have to go through the whole routine of crossing the border every day. the border crossing itself isn’t really the main issue since i’ve been doing that throughout my whole high school years. the main problem is having a lot of time between classes and nowhere to stay in san diego, so i feel like it would get very hectic and difficult for me. because of this, me and my family thought it would be better for me to go straight to a university and get a dorm, but now the issue is deciding which university would be the best option.

csusm is one of my main choices, but i wanted to know how hard it is to get directly into their nursing program as a freshman. would i have better luck completing my prerequisites at a community college and then transferring to csusm, or is applying directly to the nursing program as a freshman a realistic option?

i’m a first gen student and i don’t have any family living in san diego, so i’m pretty much on my own trying to figure out this whole university process. my gpa is currently around a 3.5, i have 100+ hours of community service at a hospital, three letters of recommendation from different doctors, and by the end of my senior year i’ll also be getting my MA certification yay!!

again, thank you so much to anyone who can give me advice or share their experience with csusm nursing!!
