<p>compsciguy91: There is nothing wrong with Cal Poly Pomona. The education and teachers are great. However, there’s not a lot of opportunity to do research for my particular major. Physics majors have an easier time getting research experience than I do, especially at NASA at places like Ames. I want to do research in biology/math, but there is not really any opportunity for the intersection of those at CPP. Computer Science I am pretty sure is different. Many of the internships my major qualifies for are up north with Lockheed, Boeing, etc. that I would like to be closer to get experience, but I’d go UCR simply because they do research in math at the school itself whereas they don’t at CPP (unless it’s some disadvantaged minority type deal). </p>

<p>So don’t worry about it not being a decent school, especially for computer science. It’s a specific problem I have with the whole research deal.</p>
