Placement
You do have some campus placements but most of the ones that are there do not sponsor your visa. So it’s in your hands after your graduation to find a job and get sponsorship as well. They are not really that great with the jobs and placement. Though you do have some people getting into these companies the ratio is very low. This is what I have mostly heard as well.
I was sure I wanted this course and had a good review from senior’s about the professors and also the course were also offered which I was interested in. Also the fees is not High so that’s a good plus as well.
I was in between CSULA and CSUF however I chose CSULA primarily because they emailed me to sign up for the honors college. Once I got accepted they offered me a scholarship which primarily swayed me into choosing LA over Fullerton.
At the beginning of my career as a college student at West Los Angeles college, I decided to major in psychology. I decided to have psychology as my major because I became passionate as to why some individuals act a certain way.
Placement
I have not used the placement services. I know there is a career center with job posting but not sure of how well the placement opportunities are. But it is something that I may still be able to take advantage of as an alumnus.
The university was convenient for me because of my major desired (sociology) and the location of the school as well as its reputation. I was happy with my decision to attend the university that I did.
