Niloufar Mansooralavi UC Davis, Biology In my three years of attending CSM, I have met many talented and kind people. I initially wanted to go straight to a four-year university after high school, but, I wasn’t able to, due to financial need. However, I’m thankful for attending, and being able to depend on, CSM. Advisors and counselors whom I met with sincerely cared about my future and my goals; they were always available for assistance, even with last minute questions. I love how CSM has such an encouraging community, and how easy it is to find solid support systems on campus. Faculty and staff truly go above and beyond to guide students, so I would advise any future student to take advantage of these wonderful resources.
