Cal State Long Beach started out as "Los Angeles-Orange County State University" (maybe that's where they got the idea for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?)
sometime in the 50's they renamed it Long Beach State College, and now its offcially CSU-Long Beach. But Long Beach State has always stuck. If yuu're from Long Beach or west Orange County, "State" means Long Beach State. In San Diego, "State" means San Diego State, which was once San Diego Normal School.
I don't think there was ever an effort to rename SDSU to CSU-San Diego. Maybe it was too confusing with UC-San Diego.
somewhere I read that if you qualify for admittance to the UC system, but you don't get your first or second choice campus, you are guaranteed admission at UC Riverside or Merced. I don't know anything about Merced but everyone I've ever met who actually went to UC Riverside loved it there!
