<p>Go to the SLO Open House next week and participate fully in all activities. Do the same for Pomona. My kid was also accepted to both schools for engineering. We felt the exact opposite as scarlet8. We were blown away by SLO and Pomona was nice. My kid could have seen himself going to Pomona as we visited that school first. Then we went to SLO and never looked back. Now, your major is very different from my kid’s and I have heard that Pomona has an excellent landscape architecture program and you must take a look at that. In fact our tour guide at Pomona was from that department. Great kid. Cost is a factor, I never knew that SLO’s program was for 5 years. So, the increased costs and and extra year will give you something to think about. However, make sure that Pomona truly is a 4 year program before you commit. We’ve been told by every college that my kid applied to that engineering is a 4 year program and then we found students that had been there for 5 and 6 years. All the UC’s were actually 5 to 6 year programs. Go to the Open House events at both schools and let your heart decide. Let them try to recruit YOU now. Turn the tables on them and let them compete for your enrollment.</p>
