I am not picky about dormitories. The beds are high, the desks are big, and they have windows. I am a short person though, so it may be different from a tall person's perspective.

Campus Visit Notes for Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo


Visit Description:

I do not think I had a good impression of the school because most of the people on open house day were overachievers who were graduating with straight A's, and not everyone is like that. Of course, SLO wants to show their best students, but it is not a great way for people to know what most people are like in the college.
