Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Cleveland State's motto is "the city is our campus" and with a setting like this, how can a student not enjoy all it has to offer? The city opens doors to many opportunities. No matter what major you are, the teachers are personable and easy to build a rapport with, and, most importantly, they help students gain a better understanding of the real world. With 16,000 students, you get all of the advantages of both large and small campuses, which is hard to find at other schools. The size of the classes helps students better understand the material and makes it easier to become knowledgeable in their desired areas. The city provides plenty of learning experiences that cannot be found at many other colleges.

The majority of students at Cleveland State will probably find a reason to complain about something that has taken place on campus, but the majority of those students, when asked, said they would pick CSU all over again. Once you come here, it will be hard to see yourself anywhere else because, like stated before, it provides you with many opportunities and advantages that might not be offered at other colleges. CSU is not just a place to learn what you need to know for a career, but it is also a place to grow and interact. Without the experience of Cleveland State University, a student could be missing out on the next door to their life, and that is a chance that should not be taken.

The campus food options are really good . The campus has a new student lounge with dining areas on 2 levels. Student have the options of a quick snack, full meal(varities), and a bar lounge. The student lounge is very popular were most student eat,socialize,play games, attend events,seminars etc. The best way to balance meal plan is to live within your means....budget,budget, budget!

Aspects

The program I'm enrolled in is self motivated. You should have a passion for this program because it takes alot of reading, hands on experience, networking, and creativity. A internship is a must! You will need as much hands-on experience as possible, and meet people who can guide and teach you the aspects that are in training. Opportunities are endless.
