These are the metrics I’d be evaluating.


Local Reputation: roughly even
Regional Reputation: roughly even, mayby a slight edge to UCI the further you get from California
International Reputation : Cal Poly has little outside of architecture
Internship Opportunities : The arts are all about WHO you know. Having a degree is almost completely worthless if you don’t have things to go along with it. If you feel as though you’re going to have life easy in 4 years just for going to a few “worthless” classes you’re sorely mistaken. You need to build up a resume/CV/portfolio and a client list. I would imagine that this would be easier in LA/OC than in the SLO, but I could be mistaken
Cultural fit
Adaptability - if you decide to change your mind, what other options are there?
