California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo Top Questions

I wish I would have known time management when I first got to college. I definitley learned to manage my time, but it would have helped me out tremendously if I would have known that my school offered so many great opportunities academically and also with extra curricular activities. Thankfully, not being able to manage my time didn't cripple my performance academically or socially too much. It only taught me balance and it allowed me to discover who I was through the opportunities I had taken.

More of the resources that are available, such as library database, tutoring and such.

Finacial Aid is hard to get, living costs are very high.

I wish I had known how good of a school it is. In my major it's one of the top schools in the nation.

Very christain dominated, conservative campus. Not very much racial diversity. White upper middle class dominated.

my brother went here so i knew everything already. Hit on chicks, get their numbers and don't lose contact with em or you wont talk to them in later years

The campus is full of hills, so be prepared to walk up and down hills a lot. Also, the diversity is kind of lacking, but it's not that bad. The weather is really random and will be sunny one week, then rainy the next. Having rain boots really helps.

Before coming to Cal Poly, I wish I had known how hard it was going to be to work while going to school. Since I pay for college by myself I am always working and do not really have as much time as I would like to study and my G.P.A. shows that.

I wish I had known how spread out the campus is.

How the student population had such a large lack in diversity.
