Students here at Cal State Long beach are living actively as well as maintaining a great academic life.  Many of us living on or off campus remain health conscious, aware of our body's mental and physical state, and what we can do to improve our overall well being.

     There really aren't any excuses  since we are enjoying a 322-acre campus, with many new groups and facilities offered to us.  Students take advantage of tools that help us reduce the stress that comes along with an exhausting student life.  Along with what's provided by the University, we are blessed to be located in beautiful Southern California and can stay active outside in a virtually perfect climate.  Surfing, jogging, cycling, or yoga on the beach are some of the activities our students enjoy almost year round.

     It's not hard to make new friends and find people with similar interests since there are around 500 clubs, so students join one that suits their style, or start new ones every semester.  
     Its getting easier to eat right since new delicious eateries that offer healthy nutritious alternatives to fast food are sprouting up all over campus.  Along with great spots to grub, the state of the art recreation and wellness center serves as the perfect place to burn off a tasty meal.  After the gym or hours of studying, the aquatics center is the ideal spot for students to recharge and refresh.

     According to Beach Balance, an active student is more successful with better grades, and has increased energy.  Students and staff are continuing to improve ways for students to live healthy lifestlyes on campus.
