Cal State Fullerton is a commuter school. It is located right next to
the 57 freeway in Orange County. A new set of dormitory buildings was
just built, which took away parking spaces. Parking is probably the
biggest issue - there's a huge shortage: about 10,000 spaces
(optimistic estimate) for more than 28,000 students (CSUF has been
about 5% over its enrollment cap for the past five years). The
administration has not been responsive to student needs in this regard,
and so students must park in the surrounding neighborhoods, which
angers the residents: there is a push to make the streets around the
University private (students' cars will be towed). While they are
public however, students can legally park there but don't be surprised
if your car is vandalized. If you want a parking permit, it will cost
$100 and is expected to increase if it hasn't already. Students are
extremely aggressive when it comes to claiming a parking space - there
have been fights and cars get vandalized easily. The area around the
University has a fairly low crime rate as far as I know. Mostly
traffic problems when everyone comes to school or leaves.
