I graduated with my bachelors in May 2025 and also worked there for 2 years. I'm interested in pursuing my masters, but as someone that experienced dh as a student and employee, I'm not sure I even want to go back.

I experienced so many crappy things like the school treating my major like trash, budget cuts, horrible politics, safety risks that get ignored, among many other problems.

The masters program I need is offered at dh and it's actually one of the best. No other csu offers this program, only similar programs that may not fulfill all my requirements. But I can't get that prejudice out of my head. I'm already not proud of attending dh and graduating from there and don't want to feel that way again if I get my masters.

I feel like logically, dh is the best choice because it offers the best program, it's cheaper than others, and I know the school thoroughly, but my heart doesn't really want to go back there.

What do y'all think? What would you do?

I cast the spell of lowering ur fkn volume. Why do the dudes playing MtG in the LSU insist on being so loud? Please go outside. I’m just being a hater I’m glad they’re having fun but holy crap I can hear them even with noise canceling headphones on. I end my turn.

Can't really have a conversation with anyone without the person I am speaking to smelling like skunk and decapitated ass.

Or, they are so high, they can't really help out in group projects or anything related to the class.

Some use the breaks during class to go get high.

It's just.. jeez.

Either that, or they wanna work in the weed industry, and that's like... their only goal.

Enjoy your last week folks 💔

Anyone else do the math and discover they’re missing money from their refund? I usually get 7k in grants. This covers my full time tuition, and then I get the leftover money deposited to me. I always get about 3k back. This time I got closer to 2k back. Is anyone else seeing their refund amount not adding up? I’m doing 16 creds this semester and I got the deposit last night but if my math is right I’m missing about 700-800 buckaroos.

So I went down a rabbit hole and I wanted to share this with you guys.

CSUDH has more money than just our tuition. The school has something called an endowment, basically a giant investment account worth $26.5 million. That money gets handed to a fund manager who invests it in companies to make it grow. I literally had to look up what that was.

The two biggest companies running ICE detention centers are GEO Group and CoreCivic. They are private, for profit businesses. The government pays them per person detained. In 2025 they made over $4.8 billion combined. The more people ICE arrests, the more money these companies make. That is their whole business model.

Our school could be investing in them right now and we would never know.

I pulled CSUDH's public tax filings and the investment section is completely blank. No transparency about what we are actually invested in. So I am sending a letter to the Philanthropic Foundation asking them to disclose who manages the money and whether GEO or CoreCivic are in the portfolio.

Cal State LA did this exact thing in 2016 and won. The entire UC system pulled $25 million out of these companies after students pushed hard enough.

Given how many of us here have family and community members directly affected by ICE raids, I think we deserve to know where our school's money is going.

I'll keep this updated. If anyone wants to get involved or has questions lmk.

A few days ago I posted about CSUDH sitting on $26.5 million in investments with zero transparency about where that money goes. 2.9k views and 50 upvotes later, I want to give you an update.

I am not someone with a clean story. I started here as a CS major, dropped out, tried coming back a couple of times, and every time family obligations and money got in the way. Right now I am back at community college taking it one step at a time, and that is okay.

At one point I worked directly with corporate at the world's largest kids coding franchise, and helped build part of their AI curriculum that is being used right now at over 400 locations. I am proud of that work. But I also started to feel something was off about it. The families paying for those programs, the franchise fees, the whole model was built for kids whose parents could already afford to invest in their future. I loved teaching kids how to code but I wanted to do it for kids who actually needed it. I know people say that it's okay to not have everything figured out. but I didn't know I liked coding until college. Why did I have to wait that long to find out what I like and what I'm good at?

That's what brought me here. No political agenda, no class assignment, just actual frustration with who gets access to opportunity and who gets left holding the bill for a system they never fully benefited from.

So I sent that email to the CSUDH Philanthropic Foundation, the entity that controls the $26.5 million endowment, asking who manages the investments and whether any of it is tied to GEO Group or CoreCivic (largest private ICE detention contractors in the country) and I CC'd the VP of Finance and CFO directly. I also just filed a California Public Records Act request today, which means they have 10 days to respond by law, and if they deny any part of it they have to tell me exactly which law allows them to. If they stall I can escalate to the California Attorney General.

Maybe nothing comes of this. But apathy is how they win, and I am not giving them that.

I will keep you all updated, and thanks again for the support!

Hey, does anyone have any information regarding these two courses. Please kindly share some information about this.

Anyone else have a ton of classes that are still TBA as far as the meeting time? How am I supposed to plan my work schedule around this lol. I wish they’d be more punctual.

$200 a semester or $10 a day?

It’s been real yall! All done with my masters. You guys got this lol! Peace.

HOLY FUCK. Like, I'm sick and tired of people smoking in the dorms man..

Multiple times, someone set the smoke/fire alarm smoking weed in the lounges. I AM FUCKING TIRED OF WAKING UP AT 3 AM CAUSE YOUR ADDICTED ASS WANTS TO SMOKE INDOORS.

It's in my room now, cause the smoke is going through the vents since SOMEBODY SMOKED IN THE STAIRWAY. AT 8:30 IN THE MORNING.

People on the floor where a ton of the smokers are, are afraid to "snitch" which must mean they're happy to pay $150 fine every time...

This is not good for someone like myself since I have pretty bad asthma.

Housing can't do anything since they can't find the people.

I'm trying my best to study for the Gen chem 2 acs final on Thursday. Does anyone have any tips and/or know what could possibly be most important to review on🥲 I'm barely passing the class and I need to get a decent grade💔

Another year another complaint.

I am convinced that this school is perpetually underfunded because it should not be this difficult to receive a school loan.

Last year I made a post about them being really late with financial aid disbursements dates and I thought that it couldn’t get much worse than that.

Boy was I wrong, I’m going into my final semester and I have yet to receive a financial aid package. How am I supposed to pay for classes by 8/13 if CSUDH has not given me a package at all.

I have called the financial aid office every single day last week and received a different response almost every single day.

Monday-an automated response by an employee to check my student center for updates and the package would be disbursed soon.

Tuesday- I was told that graduate students and people with a half year graduation date were still in the process of being awarded (like what? how is this even possible, school starts in a week)

Wednesday- I would be referred to a financial aid specialist and that the financial aid package should appear by the end of the week (fattest lie I’ve ever heard in my life)

Thursday- same as Tuesday (same employee too)

Friday-same as Monday (same employee too)

I don’t know what is going on within CSUDH financial’s aid office own internal affairs, but the fact I received three different answers within a one week period is not a telling sign of an organized structure.

Is anyone else in the same situation as me?

It is simply unacceptable that a school makes a student wait till the very last moment to receive financial aid for their classes.

Please share your own experiences down below, would love to hear about them!

I'm being told that someone set a fire in the res hall and ran. Anyone have any specifics?

Hi! Wondering what anyone who is currently in the part-time MSW program, or who has completed it, thinks about it?

I was accepted into the 2-year program, but I am considering switching to the 3-year option due to full-time employment obligations and finances. I understand the 3-year program doesn't offer financial aid, but I believe that shouldn't matter if I can keep working full-time.

Hey guys I noticed that my middle class scholarship disappeared from my portal . Has anyone else noticed theirs missing too ?

Hey everyone so Ive been going to CSUDH for some time now, this is my 4th year and I need some advice. I’ve changed my major twice from Music performance to IT and looking to change it again to graduate faster. In the past I haven’t done good in class and failed, gave up, gotten horrible professors , etc. So i only have 59 completed credits which sucks.

which route should I take to try to graduate and get out the fastest, I’m currently in a EMT program as well while retaking GE’s.

Communications? Sociology? Liberal studies?

lmk all help is appreciated, I feel like I’m drowning.

Thought I post it here since they were leaving couldn’t give it to them maybe they are in this. Happened near lot 2 and Victoria street.

Please if anyone can help me it will be really great.

Last semester, CSUDH gave out a three page list about majors that were under reassessment for possible discontinuance or merges.

Well here is the update on that. Last week, the administration sent out an email about SIX majors that are at risk of being discontinued.

There is an open forum happening this Wednesday starting at 2:30pm at the CCPE Auditorium to discuss the situation at hand.

Hello, my group is conducting a research project that is focused on English Language Learners.

The survey is a reflection as a dual language learner and asks about your perspective in a learning environment and connection to others in class. If you had any experience of this during your time in elementary school, we’d appreciate it if you can fill out some of these questions.

Your response will be recorded anonymously.

We appreciate your help.

Thank you.

I think it was album of the year

To anyone in the dorms, elevators stopped working. Gotta take the stairs.
