It's not as sterile of an environment as a convention center or a hotel. The con is located in one small section of a large campus. While this could be confusing to locate at first, once you get there, it's fine. The events take place both indoors and outdoors, which is nice. While there's food and beverages there, it's also a very short walk from a few good restaurants. CSUN is a commuter school, there aren't a whole lot of people who stay on campus over the weekend, so your main interaction is going to be with the convention goers.

It is only $20 for all 3 days. I have to both ALA and Anime Expo before, so I know the difference between a small and large con. What worries me is that since it is on a school campus, does that interfere with any of the con? Still, your post helped me understand more of this little con, so thanks for the report! :) I was looking for more info on this con because I was considering attending it this year.

I have worked Otakon, Tekkoshocon, Anime USA, and Erie Anime Experience for a long time. Smaller cons are more personal and sometimes more fun, than bigger cons.

Going to CSUN I actually got in free and for what was presented it was worth the free entry. For paying customers it was around 30$and seemed a bit pricey.I guess going to AX first spoiled the fun of a smaller anime con, with the expectations of more panels and events that AX has to offer=[ Being spoiled by the glitz and glam of Anime Expo, Mikomicon seemed boring and dull.
