<p>I don’t think it’s an oversell at all. To each his or her opinion. Cal Poly is certainly on the rise and in certain areas more highly regarded than some of the UCs. And I went to UCLA. I experienced zero “hands on.” I did become a master test taker though. My son is an EE major at Cal Poly and his best friend is an EE major at UCLA. The educational experience is very different and my son believes he will be more ready for industry, which is his goal. He also learns the theory behind his hands on education. For my son, it is the perfect fit.</p>
