During times of stress, and emotional heaviness, there was a beautiful escape in the heart of Fullerton. The Arboretum was such a blessing to me. I went there several times; I took photographs, read books, wrote in my journal, prayed, and delighted in playing with the rooster.

Now that I am attending UCLA for graduate school, more and more I see the beauty that CSUF offered. While I love Los Angeles, there is no comparison to the stillness that the Arboretum provided.

What I love most about CSUF is the place itself. It's small enough not to get bored. Classes are large enough to fit plenty, yet small enough to be able to read the board. The location is not too far from home (Indio), but not too far to go clubbing in downtown L.A.

This campus has it all -- The great people, the beautiful campus, and most importantly, the best college experience!

At least, in my life it has been. And I will miss it, as I will be graduating in May 2008!

I love the last two weeks of finals. ALL NIGHT STUDY!!! Leave it to CSUF to make even the most stressful time of your semester the most enjoyable. I love getting together with my classmates, studying all night, taking breaks to go get a free massage. I love that ASI provides students with snacks and drinks to remind us (the students) that we need to take care of ourselves. I love walking down the halls of the TSU and watching my fellow students sleeping on the floor or sleeping on their books, or by their laptops. After finals are over I cannot even remember the stress I was under, just the wonderful memories with my fellow classmates and friends.

***Thanks, CSUF, for making my college experience one of the best times of my life***

What i love most about CSUF, is the campus itself. There's always something going on every day, whether it's "Snow Day" in the quad or rock climbing off the MH. There's so much to do, I never get bored of simply being here.

I'm really enjoying my first year as a freshman. I have met a number of great people who make me feel like I belong .At the same time, it's nice to occasionally run into people who went to high school with me. People here have so much pride for this school and it's nice to see others who feel that same amount of pride for their school as I do. The faculty are great, my professors are great and bring out the best in me. I am proud to tell my friends that I am a Titan.

What do I love most about Cal State Fullerton? I don't know where to begin. First and foremost, it has to be the world-class faculty. I could not have asked to be taught by a better university faculty.

The staff that not only supported the faculty, but the university in general, were always quick to help or find the answer if they didn't have the answer for me right away.

The Children's Center and the wonderful staff there were such a blessing. I couldn't imagine having my kids in daycare anywhere else while I was going to school. No matter where I was on campus, be it in the computer lab, College Park for my Comm classes or in the community working on class projects, I knew my kids were safe, well cared for and I was always 5-10 minutes away if they got sick or I wanted to just "hang out".

I loved my time going there and hope to one day return to get my M.A. or teaching credential. While I don't work in the field I majored in, I still use what I learned as a Titan every day. There's an overwhelming sense of pride I feel evey time I see a CSUF decal, license plate frame or a piece of clothing when I'm out and about. My personal motto is: "If you've never been a part of Cal State Fullerton, you wouldn't understand." It's definitely a Titan and Titan Pride thing. TITANS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I love most about Cal State Fullerton was the feeling I got each time I walked on campus; whether it was too early to open my eyes completely so I'd get parking for that 8 a.m. class or so dark at night after a late summer session course it felt like its own diverse community of striving scholars and friends to be made.

I found my niche at Cal State Fullerton and through the pursuit of academic excellence was so grateful to find faculty with the desire to come alongside and challenge, motivate and support their students' successes. Most of all I forged life long friendships and bonds with others who have and continue to enrich my life beyond measure and with whom I have the pleasure of sharing in the joys and sorrows, victories and failure that life brings each day. Here's to CSUF, we'll always remember the Titans :) xo

A relaxed atmosphere, great people, and a strong business program make Cal State Fullerton wonderful. The best thing is that students are permanently taught by REAL professors, not TA's. This is one of the biggest things that make Cal State Fullerton different from other schools.

I am proud to be a Titan when I mention my school to co-workers in San Diego and they reply, "Oh, your baseball team won the (World) Series."

Seeing our Jazz Band on The Ellen Degeneres show was a real treat.

I love the professors who are caring and reach out to each and every one of us and offer help and support no matter if there are 10 or 40 of us there. They are an inspiration and an asset to this university.

I love the Dean of Students and the services they offer to students to give us leadership training and an awareness and appreciation for multiculturalism. They teach us to be leaders of our society.

I love the various organizations and clubs that reflect the diversity of our campus and the deep experiences they have given us. We have grown and learned together.

I love the library and the wide variety of resources they offer through the databases, their interlibrary loans, their chat systems, and the books, e-books, magazines they have on shelf for all of us to use.

I love the career center and their staff there who help you preview your resumes and get you ready for interviews as well as the workshops they put on.

I love the various people who give scholarships, grants, and financial aid to students--the donors (often comprised of faculty and staff members as well as organizations). They help make college affordable.

I love ASI and the various activities and events they put on to help make school feel like a community rather than JUST another commuter school. They do make our days go by with more energy and enthusiasm.

I love the gym and cardio studio where there are healthy and enthusiastic instructors who help us stay fit and active during this college experience.

I love the people at the university learning center who truly work hard to make learning happen and ensure students from all backgrounds and cultures get equal access and opportunity to succeed here at CSUF.

I love the friends I meet here--who come from various states, cities and countries who we share our memories with us and make going through college not as intimidating a process as it seems.

I love the police who work hard here to make our campus safe and secure. They have helped me in numerous occasions whether it was the case of my keys being in my car or my backpack in the library after it was closed.

I love the administrators who upgrade the technology to make it efficient. They guide the rest of the school and offer education to all--especially for us minorities.

And I love all those who I didn't mention but helped played a part in making CSU Fullerton a better place to come, grow, and learn from. Thank you all.
