CSULA vs CSULB

Hi! 

I have been admitted to both the CSULA Forensic concentration and CSULB. I'm having a difficult time deciding between the 2. Does anyone have any input or advice on which program might be better?

I was admitted to both as well, and will be attending CSULA. I heard back from CSULA very early on--I think they accepted me in late February---and I've had a really good experience communicating with them so far. 

 

Some of the things I took into consideration: they're ranked identically, and both seem to have well respected programs (although from what I hear CSULA's is older and more established.) People seem to prefer CSULB for the campus, location, and some concentrations/specializations, while the forensic concentration is a big draw for CSULA.

 

Since the campus was irrelevant to me, and I wanted to be more centrally located (for field placements, and for my husband's job), I was happy to accept CSULA. I'm also pleased with the agency they've placed me for my first year, so I think it'll be a good fit. 

 

Anyway, if you do decide to go to CSULA, please feel free to join us over here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/csulamsw2017/

This decision is so difficult for me because both schools have such great aspects about them. CSULB has the option to get the PPSC and I always have heard great things about their program. CSULA has the forensics program, but I have heard less hype about their program. Probably can't go wrong either way as I'm sure both programs are great. I just don't want to regret anything!
