Lights, camera, action. California is known around the world for the television and film industry. And the CSUSB campus is only about 60 minutes east of the Hollywood sign. Yujin, an international student majoring in theater, will tell us what attracted her to CSUSB. The spotlight is on you, Yujin, take it away.

– Thank you so much, Alex. Hi, there, I’m an international exchange student from Korea. Here at CSUSB, I wanted to learn about my major in theater, enhance my English, and also learn about various culture and experience. This is my first time visiting the USA. I was so excited, but also I felt nervous. I was really worried about making new friends. Fortunately, CSUSB has a lot of student activities. I participated in events like Snow Day and visited booths to meet different clubs. At CSUSB, you have the opportunity to connect with a lot of different people in different cultures. You can try different foods, like Mexican, American and Indian food to name a few. Our school’s facilities are so nice. My favorite building is the SMSU Building, where I study, read, eat good food and bowl with friends. For my major, we have a theater that puts some awesome show throughout the year. Having a good theater is really important to experience great opportunities and network within the community. I’m currently performing in our school theater, and it’ll be a precious experience in my life to be on the CSUSB stage and meet some actors, authors and stage managers. CSUSB is the best university to learn about all of things that I want to learn because of its award-winning professors. When I’m free, I travel to famous places in the USA that are near our school through our Adventure Program. This program allows you to visit awesome places for a low rate. I have experienced L.A., Hollywood, Disneyland, Universal Studios, San Diego and Yosemite. I’m so glad to study here at CSUSB, because it has given me an awesome opportunity to network, travel, enhance my English, all while making friends. Throwing back to you, Alex.

– Amazing job, Yujin. Your first experience visiting in the US and the welcome you’ve received at Cal State San Bernardino sounds so positive. The Department of Theatre Arts is designed to prepare students for careers in a variety of fields, including the entertainment industry, education and business. And what better place to do it than right here? That was awesome, take care.
