A person who is not able to take their time to apply what they learn by doing. Someone who needs time to grasp a concept, cal poly runs in a quarter system so everything is fast paced. Anyone who does not like hills.

The only type of person who shouldn?t attend this school is someone who doesn?t like to work. Everything is work here. You got to go up hills to get to your classes. You got study every night to do well in your classes. It is necessary for you to go and exercise at the gym to relieve stress. I could list all sorts of things, but it is easier to say CalPoly: SLO is not for the lazy or the people who like a easy life. Its work, all the time.

A person who should not attend this school is one who needs a lot of attention and focus from outside sources because while there is many resources to go to if a student needs help with schooling, personal needs, or financial help people will not come to the student. The student has to ask and do research to find help because of the fast pace setting of this school it can be come very intimidating and cause a person's school work or even social life to suffer.

a close-minded city person that doesn't enjoy nature or different views.

You shouldn't attend this school if you are not self motivated and if you haven't already established good study habits, you won't make it beyond the first year. It was a tough school to get into, but being at the top of your class in high school may only make you an average student at this school. You will now be competing with people who are equal and, usually, academically superior to you.
Matthew
Someone who needs a city life not revolved around the school within it. Cal Poly is far from major cities and unless you can become staisfied with rolling hills, farm country, and a whole lot of beautiful coastal views this school is not for you. We are on a quarter system that is only ten weeks long; extremely fast. And our professors are not research, and we do not have a surplus of graduate students to help professors as UC's do.

Any one one doesnt take school and life serious.

If you want to get lost in a sea of people you should not attend Cal Poly. We are a medium-sized institution, but I would say for the most part our classes are on the small side and participation in discussions is required. San Luis Obispo fosters a very outdoorsy lifestyle so I would also reccommend not attending if you prefer to be indoors and dislike activities like hiking and biking.
Brittni
Laid back, wants small class sizes, enjoys hands on learning, and will come to class. Participation counts for alot in small classes. This is an earthy, green town. No drivethoughs or late night clubs. Love the outdoors.
Devon
Some one who doesn't like contraversy.
