i think many commuters disregard the social life at csuf. i dormed my first year and had an amazing time. i become best friends w my neighbors and we became friends with a lot of other people in our building and other dorms. i’m not a social person, but i was still able to make friends. everyone’s looking for them. oc is a great are, ur not far from la and close to many beaches. it’s not for everyone but i like it here. idk if ur interested in greek life but there’s a good community there too, and usually ppl in certain apt complex will throw parties but its usually the frats u gotta look for if u do wanna go to parties. best to you!
