"I would recommend the P2E program for incoming freshmen because they have these little activities that just show you what to expect and help ease you into college. So, it鈥檚 really beneficial and it really made me a lot more comfortable coming into the fall semester."
鈥擜ndrea Navarro, Kinesiology Exercise Science
"The most rewarding part was definitely when I started my fall semester, confident in my math skills and confident in my studying skills. I knew I had the tools to succeed in my academic life."
鈥擩ose Sanabria, Computer Science
"The Pathways to Excellence mission is to help new freshmen, straight out of high school, get accustomed to the university and its culture before stepping foot into the actual university. If you have the opportunity, do it. It鈥檚 like a cheat sheet for CSUN!"
