Student review [#39948] for Liberal Arts
at California State University - CSU

“Benefits: Flexibility to decide on research/travel/study abroad projects, availability of funds for graduates, encouragement of administrative staff and teachers, opportunity to be recommended together with other teachers, high quality teaching, numerous resources and collaborations among other schools and labs allow for even more resources, great location, huge amount of social activities, overall happiness within the department.My department truly supports their graduate students and provides resources for anything we need. Cons: sometimes too much freedom can ruin the business and it depends on your advisor – organizing your time effectively is the key to getting things done Lessons can be time consuming but they are necessary…it just means research needs to be postponed or postponed, other times it has to be done. Really are not negatives for the department. The workload is heavy but comfortable. The faculty challenges you but is very encouraging. It’s a great environment.”
