That Was Then, This is Now



This is how Cal State Long Beach first appeared in 1949. However, the school wasn't called "California State University, Long Beach" back in the day, it was known as Long Beach State College, or LBSC.


This is how part of the upper campus at Cal State Long Beach appeared in 1988 - a drastic change from its humble beginnings in 1949. The trees in the foreground, however, would make way for more buildings and classrooms.







The Cal State Long Beach Campus has gone through many changes - more buildings, more modern art statues, more fountains. There is no doubt that this is a beautiful campus. And it's one where students can call a second home (despite its classification as a commuter school).
