  • 70% does get the job within 6 months because if your OPT date start then you would only have 90 days to get the job that too the company must be willing to Sponsor you.

  • They dropped many cold emails to many of recruiter. Apply for 100 + company on daily bases if you want to secure an interview.

  • Try to make connections because u will get the call only if you have references in any company. so try to make connection and networking is key here to get the job here .

  • I followed Facebook pages and googled apartments near college then try to contact the person who lives near by or talking to senior students helps a lot .

  • Monthly rents depends on the type of amenities once choice to live : Studio apartments are 1500 per month excluding amenities , for 1 bedroom range is between 1800 to 2200.

  • Recommendation is try to find near to college and for a while accommodate more number of friends in single apartment if you want that to make budget friendly.

On my campus, almost all or 100% of the students secured a job, and the average salary range for students is $60,000/- most people apply for the job through LinkedIn and connections, and they get job offers. On an average, salaries are $60,000/-

Online websites or through WhatsApp groups, people look for people from their communities, so some people might get comfortable with living with other people. You may join all the Facebook groups before coming here so you will get better reach.

They are good if you are looking for construction, hardware, public service and mechanical related works. If you are looking for IT or other fields you need to work more.

Its good until you are challenged or try to be more career focused.

This was the closest state school to me which made it appealing because I could save money and also attend a decent school. They had the major I wanted which made sense to me. I also liked the idea of a big school but a small program. The school has 40,000 people but my program I see the same faces in most classes.

Placements and job opportunities are usually through luck since the film/television industry is very competitive and many find jobs due to current/previous internships. My university, however, has a career center where you can apply for jobs that are within the film/tv industry.

I currently go to CSUN as a CTVA (Film/Television) Student and I love the opportunities I get to have as a CSUN CTVA student. Compared to many film schools in SoCal. CSUN is very affordable and many of my professors do work within the Film/TV industry in Los Angeles.

There are various placements from any field such as medical, mental health, probation, school and more. This, in turn, allows students to narrow in on where they wish to pursue and during the last year students talk to potential agencies with the goal that if they do well enough there are open availability for them post-graduation.

The program offered was the best fit for my individual needs. I liked the campus and the environment as well as the faculty and their areas of research. Lastly, the program gave me internships that would allow me to be able to gain experience as well as potentially get a job right out of college.
