“CSULB is a university where sports are popular, so there are a lot of sports facilities. In particular, the gym is very large and can be used free of charge by undergraduate students. There are even facilities where you can go rock climbing!

There are facilities where you can go bowling and play billiards at the university, too. You can really experience so many things at the university. It is a scene rarely seen in my home country. ”
