Dana
The kind of person found in the classrooms at Cal Poly is enthusiastic, goal oriented, and most likely described as an over-achiever. This person loves to learn, and loves to do it well. A Cal Poly student knows that making connections with professors and fellow classmates can only better one's disposition, especially when looking for an internship or career. Plus, this student is not afraid to get their hands dirty because they love to learn by doing; and above all, they are not afraid to fail because they know that failure only drives them towards success.
Danielle
Someone who enjoys learning by doing and is likes to be involved with their community.
Andrew
Generally, students that did pretty well in High School and know what they want their major to be. Your major must be declared before acceptance, so you need a pretty good idea of what you want to do in life.
Stephen
Someone who is serious about school and not just coming for the lifestyle, is sure what they want to study (Cal Poly requires declaring a major when you apply), and can keep up with the quarter system.
Justin
Anyone really. Probably someone who is into a small, laid back community. Fraternities and sororities tend to be really big here. So that's good if you're into that. But for those who aren't, like me, it kind of sucks sometimes because it dominates the party scene. This place is also for those who like going to the beach and enjoy sunny weather. I'm more of a city type of person, but this place is cool for now.
Ryan
A person who is ready to have fun learning by doing, and also having fun on the weekends in a small college town. (play hard, work hard!)
Stacy
The person should be open-minded and focused. There are many things to distract a person so it's vital that a person can stay on the right track and not give up. This person needs to think outside the box and have creative ideas when it comes to class work and people.
Brian
Someone wanting hands on experience
Sarah
The average person at Cal Poly is a white Republican Christian who wears flip flops. Granted, that's not what everyone in San Luis Obispo looks like, but I would say the people who attend Poly are generally pretty laid back, enjoy having fun, but also know when to be serious. School can be challenging, but there's still room to enjoy college. It's a fairly large school in a small community, so everyone knows everyone through someone.
Brian
I think that anybody wanting a fun, academically rigorous, education would enjoy Cal Poly.
