Financial Aid Confused about fafsa

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I only had two loans given to me this semester and I submitted my financial aid for 2027-2027 three days ago. I looked at my summary and it shows $400 for financial aid. I clicked something else and it says it’s for a scholarship? I don’t have an email or message telling me I was chosen for a scholarship 🤔 when will I see this money deposited to my account?

Prospective Student How do you non-commuters make friends?

8 Upvotes

I’m thinking of attending CSULA for masters in computer science next fall. It’s one of my top choices since I really want to go somewhere in California. I’m coming from Texas, but I used to live in the Bay Area. Anyway, from what I’ve heard CSULA is a commuter school but I’ve seen posts about people who say finding friends isn’t too hard if you put an effort. What is a good way to make friends here? Also, is it reasonable to try and find friends in the city, CSULA is in Los Angeles after all. So there’s probably other 23/24 year olds from other colleges or people that work full time who want to make friends. I’m just worried about finding my group here because of some of the stories I’ve heard on this sub and other online platforms.

Financial Aid MCS Update

14 Upvotes

I was one of the few whose MCS disappeared the same week school started (and still gone) so I had called. Whether you have it or don’t have it on your package doesn’t matter. They are currently being reviewed the last week of October, and may officially be rolling out in people’s bank accounts the first week of November!

If you still don’t see an estimate on the final week of October you may call and they can tell you why you didn’t qualify!

Question Why are all the bathroom doors propped open???

7 Upvotes

I find it very odd that most bathroom doors are always propped open. Anytime I see them propped open I always close it. Just a matter of privacy at this point….

A CSULA employee raped me

126 Upvotes

I reported it to the school in 2018 and the Title IX lawyer simply suggested that he had probably reformed. I have no reason to believe that there was ever a formal investigation. He still works at the school. He is on the website rate my professors so I believe he teaches in some capacity. The school refuses to hold him accountable and fire him to keep students safe.

Financial Aid How long does a Cal State LA financial-aid refund take with Bank of America?

4 Upvotes

My financial aid disbursed in GET on Monday, October 5, and GET shows a $2,223.96 refund with no outstanding balance. I’m enrolled in direct deposit with Bank of America.
For anyone who has received a Cal State LA refund through Bank of America, how many business days did it take to appear after the refund date shown in GET? Did it arrive Wednesday, Thursday, or later?
My grants disbursed first, while my accepted loans have not posted yet. Did your loans arrive as a separate refund during a later weekly disbursement?
