California State University, East Bay is consistently named one of the finest public institutions on the West Coast. Best known for its programs in business, education, and music, CSUEB employs a unique system of Freshman Learning Communities that has been shown to produce higher GPAs by grouping students together based on common academic interests. The on-campus Pioneer Amphitheatre serves as a popular performance venue among students and non-students alike, with the annual Stone Soul Picnic drawing national touring artists. The nearby greenbelt along Ward Creek provides a perfect route for walking, running, or biking, whether for recreation or to get to the city center. Downtown Hayward is only a mile and a half to the northwest and is packed with fun things to do in your downtime: catch a movie at the Century Theater, grab a cocktail at the World Famous Turf Club, or dig into some French cuisine at Bijou Restaurant. The neighborhoods on the east side of the campus offer a more tranquil atmosphere nestled between large parks and nature preserves, while the west side gives you more balanced access to both the university and Downtown.
