Abstract

CSUMB students say the campus lacks a sense of community. Looking at films like Pitch Perfect or Neighbors may have given some young adults the impression that college life was going to be vividly enjoyable, but this documentary unravels the reality of going to a public HSI near the foggy dunes of Monterey County.
