<p>SLO is ranked highly, mainly due to being the largest program in the country, thus gets the most votes in the Design Intelligence ranking that everyone refers to. I think Pomona has better faculty though, since Los Angeles is the hot bed of architecture these days. I went through the program a few years back and can’t imagine not having seen my professor’s built work, visited their offices and worked on summer internships with them. SLO faculty on the other hand are professional professors, not much practice. Just look at the websites. </p>
