How does CSU LA compare to the other Cal States in the LA area in regard to:

-social life? I'm an international exchange student looking to study here for a semester so would love to go to a socially active school.

-How are the dorms here? Are any of them single rooms with private bathrooms? How many students live on campus (% wise)? Is it a commuter school?

-How are the clubs here?

-Food options?

-How is it here on weekends? Do people generally just go home? Thinking of hiring a car, is that a good idea living on campus/in LA?

-How important is it being an NCAA Division I school? In terms of its impact on frequency of sporting events school spirit

-Would you say it's a friendly school here?

Thanks for the help!
