Why CSU?

We spoke with incoming freshmen about why they chose CSU. They cited our academic programs, our downtown Cleveland location, the only dedicated film school in northeast Ohio, affordability and our legacy. A very warm welcome to the Class of 2028!

Hear what they had to say: 

I like to have other people around when studying and the library offers that sense of having others there with you while keeping a quiet enough space for getting your work done. It’s also great for meeting for group assignments.
