It is so much more affordable at CSUSM than it was for me to attend any other 4 year college in the San Diego area, even with academic aide! And to top it all off, there is great academics here; great classes, great teachers, great resources! Tuition cost includes the extensive online databases and access to the library! It also includes the use of the Clark, which is basically a full service gym. It is definitely worth the cost of tuition.

Is the debt worth the knowledge? Yes because no matter where you go you are going to have to pay for the learning and overall the education at CSUSM is great. Yes for quality of actual learning However, student tuition and fees rising ridiculously and the money we are having to pay is not being put into making more classes, or accommodating more students. This is making it increasingly difficult to get the good quality education. No for the quality of availability and accommodations for students. It is a commuter school but the school does not make good accommodations for commuters (lack of parking, high costs of parking, limited class options, etc.)

This is a community college education with university prices.

It's cheap for in state but getting a job all depends on what degree you choose. If your go accounting or computer science you won't have a problem but it just depends how you apply yourself so just be a driven and determined.

For the price of a public school you get the education of a private school! Smaller classes meaning better professor student relationships.
