The campus is located in Los Angeles, California near the city of Alhambra and at the center of Los Angeles metropolitan area just five miles from Los Angeles civic and cultural center. Located next to two major interstate highway systems; Interstate 10 Freeway and Interstate 710 Freeway.

The campus is nestled among rolling hills on a site that once housed one of California's 36 original adobes, built in 1776 by Franciscan missionaries and destroyed by fire in 1908. These lands once were part of a Spanish land grant known as the Rancho Rosa Castilla, created by the family of Juan Batista Batz, a Basque rancher from northern Spain who settled here in the 1850s. The inspiration for the name of the rancho, according to local historians, was the wild rose that once grew near the ranch home.

CSULA was founded in 1947 by an act of the California legislature and opened for classes on the campus of Los Angeles City College, itself the former location of UCLA, as the Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences. P. Victor Peterson was LACC's first president. The shared-campus experiment proved to be unwieldy and the school moved to its present location in 1955.

In 1964 the school was renamed California State College at Los Angeles (CSCLA) when it became part of the California State College (CSC) system. In 1972, CSCLA was awarded University status and was renamed the California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA).

Cal State LA has one of the lowest tuition fees. Tuition and fees for in-state is $3,035 and $11,171 for out-of-state. The campus is a good place to relax or study. There are different places inside the campus where they serve food and coffee. Some of the fast foods that are located in CSULA are El Pollo Loco, Carl's Jr., Rice Garden and Kikka Sushi. Many students come to the cafes located inside the campus after class and interact with other fellow students. The new $30 million University-Student Union building that is under construction scheduled to be completed on September 2007, will also be a good place for students to come and relax after classes.

First on-campus housing was opened on June 1984 and three years later second residential life coplex was opened. CSULA has a student housing complex where students can rent a house at double occupancy for $413.00 per month (as of September 2006). During 1984 Summer Olympics that took place in Los Angeles CSULA student houses were upgraded and expanded because it housed the athletics of the 1984 Summer Olympics.
