2.
Acronym for California State University Northridge, a huge university made up of over 30,000 students located in the San Fernando Valley. Most of the student body consists of UCLA and USC rejects and if you talk to the students you will hear their complaints about this endlessly.
This school is very ethnically diverse, which can be good or bad depending on who you ask. For example, there is a serious problem of Jews vs. anti-Zionists (very apparent in the school newspaper), Armenians vs. Turks, and MEChA vs. ROTC. There is also fighting between all of the groups mentioned as to what group rules the school. Classwise, most of the students here are wealthy fatcats from other parts of the Valley, West LA, the OC, and towns such as Agoura Hills and Moorpark.
CSUN is known as a joke of higher education with an 8% graduation rate (meaning only 8% of all students who come in as freshmen actually end up staying at the university until they finish a 4-year degree). This is due to the fact that half the freshmen class drops out during winter break and half of the remaining freshmen drop or transfer out during summer break. Then about 2/3rds of the sophomore class will drop out or transfer, leaving only a select few who go on to the upper-division, though pretty much everyone who becomes upper division ends up graduating. The drop out rate is thought to be caused by the frustration of getting rejected by the UC's because, well, if you think you should be getting A's at UCLA and you get a B- in a CSUN class, it's pretty obvious as to why you would want to drop out of CSUN. It's also known that the vast majority of upper-division students are community college transfers who were also forced to go to CSUN as a last resort.
CSUN is also one of the few universities where it takes one five, six, or even seven years to obtain a 4-year degree. The reason for this is not exactly known, but may have something to do with the large student population and the incompetence of advisors.
CSUN sucks. I would rather spend five years trying to get into UCLA or spend all my money at a private university than spend 9 years at CSUN getting a third-tier BA.
