 you can have different engaging activities for students to get to know people from their community more. And on down you have a study area, you can book rooms, there are a lot of rooms to the students who book in advance and you can come here and study during your three hours. And this is a stage where like if campus is hosting an event, it will take place here with the DJ and everything. That's the stage. So a very typical visa question is, tell me something unique about your university. And this is something a lot of you struggle with. So this video, we're going to explore Cal State LA and we'll try and find unique points about the university which you can use for your visa interview. So let's go. So we are on our way to CSU LA and this is the metro line, this is the starting point. It's going to take about one hour, right? So let's go. I think the metro station is quite close to the university. So one thing which we get asked a lot and I think I had discussed with you also when we did that interview, visa interview preparation, is about student clubs, right? So what kind of student clubs are here and? I'm actually vice president of MAS club, that is marketing analytics research society. And you have many different types of clubs. What I've been interested in because I'm in business area, marketing and research clubs. And there's a astronomy club. You can actually, I've seen people come out with telescopes and K that's us. So it's easy to get into clubs and there are many different kinds of clubs. So how is the general like, what do you think? Are they really useful? They're really useful. Maybe if you stay in marketing clubs, like one I've been, I mean it will give you a network to or like connections with the successful alumni or like connect you with good professors. So every club has a mentor, as a professor as a mentor. So I think they will be pretty well connected with industry professionals or like successful alumni. So they can help you get connected to them. And you meet a lot of students over there who share the same interest. So from there you can get connections for your career. So it's good to be part of. I think California universities will have more student clubs, right? So it's quite a vibrant campus, I would say. A lot of people around that. I say the maximum maybe. It can go down on holidays. Friday is not many classes. And since it's a beginning, like it's just fall. Yeah, were there any events, specific events? Yeah, there will be orientations and we actually had City of Augs. So it is like a main walkway filled with all the clubs that are there in the university. So students can go up and go there and then sign there. Okay. Yeah. I get registered. Yeah. Students who come here prefer to stay off campus. Yeah, but you are staying in the dorm. Yeah. What is the reason for that? Was it like your parents felt? No, actually, I wanted to get to know people. I like that living on campus and having that college experience. So and I came to US from India to make different, like get good exposure and everything. So I chose to stay in dorms and it's actually pretty good. Comparatively on the budget side and the rent and utilities and everything, it almost matches up. But more on the expense side, but it's still fine. But the community, you get, you don't have to commute to college. If you're doing a part-time on campus, it will be very easy to just go back and one of the classes, as I'm doing master's, I only have three classes per week. So whenever my class is done, I can just go back to my dorm. So I felt it is a bit easier. But how is it more expensive? Must be, right? It is. Me and my friend, we calculated it at the budget. It was like around $300 more. Okay. That is like the South Village cafeteria. It's actually a very new building. This is huge. Yeah. These are tower one, tower two, tower three. And then this is the South Village cafeteria. And then you do have a South Village cafe market. When you say South Village, you mean like for undergrad? Yeah. So the name of these buildings is called South Village area. So it has classes? No, no, no. The doms. Oh, this is only the dom. Oh, wow. And then the underneath, you can see the glass one. Yeah. That is the cafeteria. Okay. So this looks new. Yeah. This is the new building. And you see that one, those are the lobbies. You can watch a movie together. This hangout area, the longest. Most people hang out near the green circle, you see the green lawn. Yeah. And this side we have this side is the smaller apartments for students about 21. Okay. They can stay over here. These are the independent houses. And you can opt to stay two per room, three per room. So this is for the older? Yeah, older. About 21 can opt to choose here. So this is the sports area. There is running, there's basketball, football, and there's swimming pool somewhere nearby. Yeah. How often do you see games here? The matches, yeah, every alternate day or something, but I only come here twice. Twice, okay. Do they have like any sport they're more focused or more passionate about? No, football only. Football. You can see tennis over there. Yeah. And actually the background all, it's all those mountains, right? Yeah, I think it's covered with fog. Covered with fog. It is actually pretty scenic place. Yeah. I've seen jobs about being posed for research assistants, quite common, but not sure about how much it is going. So you're saying campus jobs are easy to get? You just need to start in advance? Yeah, you just need to start in advance. It is really easy to get. It's just student assistant. So is there like a portal? How do you apply? Yeah, handshake portal. You will need to create a login ID and password, and then it'll show you jobs on campus, off campus, around LA. Okay. And even now, in different states as well. But you as a student can only apply to these on campus jobs? Yeah. Right. So somebody like who gets an admin, even before they reach campus, they can apply. They can apply and start the process. Just need to send a good tailored resume. Okay. What all do you need? A good resume. And then they'll ask for a student employee application. That is you put in your schedule of the classes, like when you free, what is your work schedule? You must have enrolled for your classes before coming to campus, right? Right. So just put in your class schedule and previous work experience. They'll ask for the resumes, things in there as well. That's it. Okay. Thank you so much. I am so happy to meet you. Thank you so much for taking out the time. Yeah. I'm glad you're here, sir.
