Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the last five years CSUN has constructed 7 new buildings, including a new performing arts center, University Student Union, arts, media and communication building, health and human services building, two parking structures, the Sierra Center and new wings of the library. CSUN is rapidly becoming one of the most modern universities in the nation. In fact, the pristine look of the facilities at CSUN may be the first thing that strikes you when you walk onto campus.

CSUN is only a 50-year-old campus, and when put into perspective CSUN is a very young school compared to most, and since the earthquake in 1994, almost everything has been rebuilt. The downside is there tends to be a considerable amount of construction going on. CSUN’s fitness center offers the typical gym activities including cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, and an aerobics room, but nothing super impressive. The membership fee is a great deal at about $70 per semester ($3 a week). Although CSUN doesn’t have a movie theater or bowling alley on campus, the surrounding area makes up for it with four theaters and two bowling alleys close by.

Facilities: an in Depth Look

California State University Northridge has a wide variety of different facilities. Sports are popular. CSUN will open up a brand new student union in late January. it will have indoor sports such as soccer and basketball it will even have rock climbing. Everyone is looking forward to the grand opening of the student union. CSUN also has very clean restrooms and lots of food places such as burger king and panda express. It really makes the social at CSUN quite easy.

Clean Facilities

Although the area around CSUN is run down, within the CSUN campus, there are many nice facilities. We have a new recreation center which is exciting because our old fitness center was very small, stuffy and compact.
