Do you have a question about your Meal Plan?

If you are assigned a room with no kitchen, you MUST purchase a Meal Plan. You are also welcome to purchase a Meal Plan if you have a kitchen. For more details, please see Fall/Spring 2012-2013 Meal Plan Website. If you are only going to be at CSUN for one Semester, note that on your application and remember that you will only need to pay half the cost.

Arriving at LAX

Those of you who do not have friends or relatives to pick you up at the airport can use the Flyaway bus service that stops every half hour right outside the baggage claim area. Please note:, there are THREE destinations, so make sure that your bus is going to Van Nuys (and not Union Station or Westwood). The departs regularly and goes non-stop to the Flyway Bus Terminal at Van Nuys. Travel time is 50 minutes (depending on traffic) and costs $7.00 one way. Please note that you can only pay by credit card when you arrive at Van Nuys flyaway terminal. Please visit http://www.lawa.org for more information.

You will then need to take a taxi from the Van Nuys Terminal to your final destination.

If you are staying in on-campus dorms, the address is 17950 Lassen Street, Northridge. This is the address you will need to give the Taxi driver. Do not have your cab wait for you while you check in. One student from New York had the driver wait, and he kept his meter running and the cab fare was $75.00!

The taxi fare from Van Nuys to the campus should cost approximately $20.00, depending on traffic.

NSE Orientation

NSE Orientation will be held at 2.00 pm on Friday January 18, Room TBA. It is strongly advised that you attend Orientation as it designed to help you find your way around CSUN and the local area, as well as give you an opportunity to meet other NSE students.

If you can't attend NSE Orientation, please make an appointment to see Juliet Aylmer, NSE Advisor, within the first 2 weeks of school. Call (818) 677-3053 for an appointment.
