Okay, so let’s talk about my experience with the psychology program at CSU San Bernardino.
First off, I gotta say, when I decided to dive into psychology, I wasn’t really sure where to start. I mean, there are so many schools out there, right? But I heard some good things about the program at CSU San Bernardino, so I figured, why not give it a shot? And let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey.
I started by doing some digging online. Checked out their website, you know, the usual stuff. The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, that’s where the psychology program is housed. They talk a big game about exploring all these human issues, which, honestly, sounded pretty interesting. I mean, who doesn’t want to figure out what makes people tick?
Then came the application process. I filled out the undergraduate application, sent in my transcripts, and crossed my fingers. Oh, and there’s that $70 application fee. Nonrefundable, of course. Gotta love those, right?
Once I got in, I had to get my bearings. The campus is pretty big, and finding my way to 5500 University Parkway took a bit of trial and error. But hey, I’m not afraid of a little adventure. Plus, the phone number, +1 (909) 537-5000, came in handy a couple of times when I got lost.
Now, let’s talk about the classes. The coursework is a mixed bag, just like any other school, I guess. Some classes were super engaging, others, not so much. There was this one time I missed a post, and when fewer than 3 posts are completed, the grading system will get really strict. I have learned this lesson.
- Explore human issues – The program really does dive deep into a wide range of topics.
- Quality education – Overall, the education quality is pretty solid.
- Application process – Standard stuff, just make sure to get everything in on time and pay the application fee.
- Campus navigation – Give yourself some time to figure out the layout.
- Coursework – Some classes will grab you, and others might put you to sleep, but that’s college, right?
I remember one class where we were learning about social constructs. The professor had us reading flashcards and stuff from Quizlet. “A social construct refers to:” and “According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services” were some of the things we had to memorize. Not my favorite way to learn, but it is what it is.
Look, the psychology program at CSU San Bernardino isn’t perfect. But it’s got a lot going for it. The faculty are generally supportive, the campus is nice, and you’ll definitely learn a thing or two about the human mind.
So, if you’re thinking about studying psychology and CSU San Bernardino is on your list, I’d say go for it. Just be prepared to put in the work, navigate a big campus, and maybe brush up on your Quizlet skills. You’ll do fine.
