California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo Top Questions

Overall, it came down to how I felt on campus. The people were friendly and it just felt right. I could see myself going to classes and becoming part of the SLO community. The more time I put into my experience here, the more I get out of it and it's been rewarding thus far.

Cal Poly is considered to be the best state school in California, by far. It is in a beautiful location with lots of things to do! It has a great downtown area, is minutes from the beach, and has many great hiking places. Cal Poly is relatively inexpensive than most colleges, but it offers so much more than most do. Many people say that at Cal Poly, "you get the most bang for your buck!" I know that I definitely made the right choice in coming to Cal Poly because I have had great experiences so far and I absolutely love this school!

I chose Cal Poly because it was the perfect school for what I was searching for. I wanted something that wasn't too close to home, but not far away. I am not 2.5 hours from home and that's perfect. I also wanted a school near the coast. Coming from a small town, I also wanted a small town type of school. I believe Cal Poly and SLO offer that. I also wanted a school that allowed me to excel in my major. I can complete my history degree in four years and then one year of grad school and I can teach high school. Also, who can beat SLO's view?

I liked everything about Cal Poly. The academics are great, the social life is great, and the location of the school is great. I definitely do not regret coming to Cal Poly.

Cal Poly appeal to me due to its exceptional academics supported by outstanding faculty and facilities. In addition, its business program is on the rise after receiving outside funds to enhance their facilities in hopes of competing with the top business programs nationally.
