The lessons are excellent, and the facility is beautiful. However, because it is a commuter school, there are certain drawbacks to student life. Considering that just a small portion of the entire student body lives on campus, the school makes an effort to make things enjoyable. Overall, the one issue I have with the institution is that it has fallen short of what students had anticipated from college life. Despite this, the university is quite excellent and relatively inexpensive when compared to other colleges and universities around Ohio and the nation. A nice location overall for further one’s studies

I am a Cleveland State University student and I study music education. The strengths of being a music education specialist are: Some of the method lessons actually taught me about teaching instruments rather than just playing them, each set to music. majors must take vocal and instrumental music lessons (allowing you to be a more versatile teacher), teaching classes that expose you to teaching students with disabilities, and transitioning to the CSUTeach program. The weaknesses are the counseling and interview techniques and CV creation were not covered at all in my three years at CSU.
