This video brings back memories as my buddies and I lived in those on-campus apartments from 1990-1993 until we had to move out after the '94 earthquake. They were built in 1989 so they were still new when we moved in. We mostly lived in Woodruff Hall. They look pretty much the same but it looks like they upgraded a few things. The keyed entry to the front door and bedroom is nice. We had regular keys for the front and regular lockable knobs for the bedrooms. The furniture in the living room looks practically unchanged! Very '80's looking. The kitchen cabinets look the same but the countertops look like they changed them to some faux granite. We had something much uglier. The floors look like they've upgraded to hardwood-looking laminate. We had ugly linoleum. Same for the bathroom. I'm so glad we were able to stay there because some of the off-campus housing was real bad. I think my whole experience would have been different. I met my 2 college roommates there. I hope you're having a good experience at CSUN. It looks like a much better campus since they have added new buildings. -Patrick
I graduated from a Missouri university over ten years ago and all we got was an open room and you had to go down the hallway to use the community bathroom, so I'm really impressed with CSUN housing!
my alma mater! I lived in building 11. By the way, the mysterious door on the balcony is a closet! The CSUN dorms are very confortable, much better than the dorms I saw at other universities. T hanks for the tour, it brings back memories.
No. It's actually extremely easy. Just make sure you do everything required just like in other schools. I start this fall as an engineering major so it's pretty easy
I know you posted the video in 2015 and you might not have your clothes rack any more but, do you rember the size of it? Length, width, hight by any chance? Im going to be moving in about 2 months from now!
Shannon Doyle hey just wondering how you like northridge I’m debating between this college and csu Fullerton for a major in psych and potentially Criminal Justice
OMG thank you! Yeah there weren't many videos out there that literally showed the rooms so I thought I'd make one. The mattress is provided, so I used theres, but its super flat so a mattress topper is best.
Do you know if they let different genders dorm in the same apartment (not room) together)? Also if they let you pick a roommate from a different year than you?(junior & sophomore)
+Zackk Whitfield I am unsure but I believe that if you want to add furniture you can (I've added a clothing rack), but if you want to swap, then my guess is that it's your responsibility to store it and place it back when you leave. I could be totally wrong, but that's what I assume. Best to stick with what they got, not too bad furniture, gotta say.
+sweetbee that's insane that you pay that much for sharing a room on campus! i never had the doom experience but always wondered what it's like. I'm approaching the end of my 3rd year at CSUN and finally moved into an apartment that walking distance from campus. Do you plan on living off campus in the future? It's a lot cheaper
I'm only a freshman in high school but I'm already thinking about college! I want to be a Dietician/ Nutritionist or an ED Physcologist and I'm interested in CSUN because it was Nutrition! Any advice on getting in?
+goodvibevanessa Wow! Thats awesome! Just get good grades, maybe volunteer in something related to your major to make sure thats what you want to do, and just check in with your counselor from time to time to see if you are on track.
Really?? Im so confused my application says I have an apartment double with the kitchen but it doesnt tell me which building im in or anything! But Im pretty sure the one in this video is the one Im getting?
You will get an email, maybe in a few weeks to let you know you can pick your building and room. Yes, you will most probably get a dorm that looks like this. Some layouts may be opposite of each other but still the same concept. Certain buildings may be newer or older so furniture may be different. But overall, I think you'll be alright :)
I might apply for a transfer here in a couple of years. I go to a private though, so I would have to transfer to community and since the new Criminal Justice major is only accepting ADT in Administration of Justice I would have to complete the Associates at Mission first. Bummer
idk how i ended up watching this lol.. did you ever get into the music industry department? I am going to audition in for the Fall 2016 semester, but since i live about 4 hours away, im thinking about doing a video audition. do you know anything about that? and how that works? nice vids btw:)
+Oscar Lopez Haha! I actually changed my major to Multimedia Production...it as a better fit for me,. As for auditioning online, you might ant to ask the music department, as unfortunately I don't know. Thank you btw :)
Its ok :) Yes, there is a laundry area on the first floor of each dorm building. If you are looking into dorming, try getting the first floor, your laundry days would be nice :P
i have one year left at Bakersfield community college and i really want to transfer to northridge because it just looks so nice but the only problem is the financial part:( like they say online for one year its around $20,000 is that true? or does financial aid covers alot of it because right now my financial aid covers most of my tuition and its only $19 please message me back thanks :)
+Jenna Bagala oh then you should be okay, I am assuming that the BOG fee waiver pays for you classes? You should be able to get financial aid at csun if you get it at community college. But of course, you should check in with the Financial Aid department at csun, just so you get all the info you need as everyone's financial aid awards could be different. As for the $20,000, I think that is just an estimate including maybe housing, textbooks, food, transportation and such. I know thats not what I pay, then again, I find the cheap way out of things like textbooks and food.
+sweetbee thank you so much!! That makes me not stress out so much and yeah I always buy used books because they are cheaper and always have notes in them ahaha
+sweetbee thank you so much!! That makes me not stress out so much and yeah I always buy used books because they are cheaper and always have notes in them ahaha
+Jenna Bagala You're welcome! You can always rent too thankfully! Also, if you search up the book in a library catalog (not necessarily CSUN), it could show up and the good thing...its free!
to add onto that, there is a public library across the street from campus. Csun does not offer the BOG waiver, but they do offer the State University Grant. one big tip financially. Make sure you enroll in 6 units or 12 units. Don't enroll anywhere in between. If you are enrolled in more than 6 units, csun will consider you as a full time student, but the fasfa will not. Meaning you'll have to pay out of pocket. If you are enrolled in 12 units, both csun and fasfa standards state that is full time. Same with 6 units, both will state that is half time.
+sweetbee I miss it UA-cam!! But nursing school and work has taken over my life. I graduate in May 2016 so maybe I'll pick it back up then. I'll maybe do a winter look during Christmas break!
LLCs are learning communities, so the only difference is that they will house students with a certain major. I lived in the Music LLC, so music majors were on the first floor and other majors were in the others. So if you find a LLC that fits your major, I say go for it as you'll meet others with the same/similar major and do activities together. No difference in the actual apt though.
Considering applying to csun. This video deffinately makes me like it 10x more!
Thats awesome!! Thanks so much for watching!
I'm 11 and I can't wait for college
awww so cute!
Omg , I went to the college today... and we stayed in that exact room
how clean and new! I'm very impressed with this campus apartment..the ones on my campus suck
+Tara thank you! Oh which university do you go to? Sorry for my late response!!

Hi! I was just wondering which building this was. I'll be attending CSUN in the fall.
my alma mater! I lived in building 11. By the way, the mysterious door on the balcony is a closet! The CSUN dorms are very confortable, much better than the dorms I saw at other universities. T hanks for the tour, it brings back memories.
Sorry for the late reply! Aww no problem and thank you! Yeah I finally figured it out the longer I lived there ahaha
Crazy graduated last year and have a field trip there and i swear seeing you there 👍👍
Is CSUN a good college for international students? Definitely loving it! Cheers from Brazil!!!
Hello! Well a lot of international students come through, so I believe they have a great time aha
I keep watching dorm vids, and im in 8th grade, lol, never to early to start, haha
Looks nice. I've applied here as a computer engineering major. Great vid👍
I might apply as a transfer! This makes me excited. I'm from the east coast
Sorry just saw your comment! Apply, im sure it'll be a different experience, but you'll enjoy it!
Awesome video, I'm so ready for college 💛
+fashionbybri Thank you! Good to hear! It's definitely an experience I should say but it all worth it ^_^
cute!!! I miss those college days...
+HDinBLUE Thank you! aww I bet! Thanks for watching, love you cuz!
Hey! So I'm thinking about transferring to CSUN next spring! Is it a hard school to get into? I'm also trying to get into the multimedia program!
No. It's actually extremely easy. Just make sure you do everything required just like in other schools. I start this fall as an engineering major so it's pretty easy
I know you posted the video in 2015 and you might not have your clothes rack any more but, do you rember the size of it? Length, width, hight by any chance? Im going to be moving in about 2 months from now!
I got this one from IKEA (called RIGGA), it shall all the information you're looking for :)
Shannon Doyle hey just wondering how you like northridge I’m debating between this college and csu Fullerton for a major in psych and potentially Criminal Justice
I was looking for an actual CSUN video but yours was way better. Question: does the bed already have a mattress or did u have to bring one?
OMG thank you! Yeah there weren't many videos out there that literally showed the rooms so I thought I'd make one. The mattress is provided, so I used theres, but its super flat so a mattress topper is best.
I loved watching this !!
+J Day Thank you!
Is the other side of the bedroom a bunk bed? If so, can you get someone to have that adjusted to become a normal bed?
Do you know if they let different genders dorm in the same apartment (not room) together)? Also if they let you pick a roommate from a different year than you?(junior & sophomore)
don't know if this is rude or not, but how much is everything in total?
It's not rude, don't worry! It's about $857 a month for this type of room
+sweetbee can you put other furniture in there or do you have to keep the stuff they gave you
+Zackk Whitfield I am unsure but I believe that if you want to add furniture you can (I've added a clothing rack), but if you want to swap, then my guess is that it's your responsibility to store it and place it back when you leave. I could be totally wrong, but that's what I assume. Best to stick with what they got, not too bad furniture, gotta say.

Devonna Gonzales what apartments did you live at?
I'm sorry I'm just going to ask one more question lol: does the dorm come with a dresser? I called CSUN and they said it only has a nightstand?
No worries! Hmm in mine there was a dresser, I guess it depends what type of dorm you get
Hi if you dont mind me asking, which dorm hall is this in? I might possibly go to CSUN and might dorm in one of the halls and this one looks perfect
This was in Building 4, the MUSIC building for music majors.
Is there a dorm where you don't have to pay a monthly fee and can just do one payment?
I believe there is an option for that, but check in with the Housing office at CSUN to be sure :)
I'm only a freshman in high school but I'm already thinking about college! I want to be a Dietician/ Nutritionist or an ED Physcologist and I'm interested in CSUN because it was Nutrition! Any advice on getting in?
+goodvibevanessa Wow! Thats awesome! Just get good grades, maybe volunteer in something related to your major to make sure thats what you want to do, and just check in with your counselor from time to time to see if you are on track.

Do all the bathrooms have seperate rooms for shower and toilet? Or are there some that have combined
I believe so, I am not 100% sure :/
I might apply for a transfer here in a couple of years. I go to a private though, so I would have to transfer to community and since the new Criminal Justice major is only accepting ADT in Administration of Justice I would have to complete the Associates at Mission first. Bummer
Just keep going! We all have our own paths and I'm sure it will all work out :)
I living in the CTVA LLC this fall so I will have an apartment too. Is there anything you recommend bringing?
Sorry for the late reply! I'm sure you'll all moved in by now! Awesome I wish I was in the CTVA building! Hope you brought all you needed!
Ayeee! I'm living in the CTVA LLC this fall, too!
idk how i ended up watching this lol.. did you ever get into the music industry department? I am going to audition in for the Fall 2016 semester, but since i live about 4 hours away, im thinking about doing a video audition. do you know anything about that? and how that works? nice vids btw:)

Does the room come with a desk lamp?
Hey I don't know if this is a weird question to ask but where do you go to get your clothes washed? like is there a Laundromat on campus or? :P
Its ok :)
Yes, there is a laundry area on the first floor of each dorm building. If you are looking into dorming, try getting the first floor, your laundry days would be nice :P
We have the same bed sheets!! :D
+Jasmine Li we do!? Did you get it from Target haha?
Ditto! I have the grey one. The pink one looks so pretty from the video
I live in South carolina, but really wanting to live in Cali. If I can get some scholarships, really considering this school
Go for it! Work hard and I'm sure you will get in :)
did the dresser that's under your bed come with the room?
Yes it did!

I miss that place
I m thinking to apply to this college .. :)
btw how many people live with you in that apt ?
Well I lived with 3 other girls, so in total its 4 (including myself) :D
Are these the University Park apartments?
No these are just the apartment option of the dorms. University park apartments are next to the dorms and usually meant for families
Summer Ramirez i staid at park apartments for 1 month and didn't like it.
For the dorm room do you get your own bathroom?
No unfortunately, but its pretty spacious and depending if you're a night/day bathroom user, its easy to coordinate with roommates!
What type of room do you have is it a suite?
Its the apartments with the kitchen. But it is suite (haha)!
Can you live with your boyfriend as a roomate in one of the rooms? I dont know if it`s all boys or all girls apartments?
So freshman can’t get the apartment dorms?
Do They Have 1 Bedroom Apt. Suites..
Unfortunately not, I wish! I would be there in 2 seconds!
Great video!!!!!
Super cute!!!
+Yazminn Garcia Aww thanks girl! :) come back to youtube! we miss u!
+sweetbee I miss it UA-cam!! But nursing school and work has taken over my life. I graduate in May 2016 so maybe I'll pick it back up then. I'll maybe do a winter look during Christmas break!
+Yazminn Garcia Oh man I can only imagine how hectic your schedule is! Keep going girl, you got this!! Hopefully we see you very soon on UA-cam! :P
And Idk if the LLC is different from a regular apartment dorm or not Im so confused lol
LLCs are learning communities, so the only difference is that they will house students with a certain major. I lived in the Music LLC, so music majors were on the first floor and other majors were in the others. So if you find a LLC that fits your major, I say go for it as you'll meet others with the same/similar major and do activities together. No difference in the actual apt though.
+sweetbee Thank you so much!
+Summer Ramirez you're welcome!
how much was rent?
This was in 2015, so it was $857, I am unsure how much now but I'm sure $900+!
lol I used to dorm there too.
Very nyc

Technically yes you do. It's honestly not that bad :)
