Cal Poly is a significantly smaller school with a small town feel. I do not come from a small town (Los Angeles), but I feel it may be easier to adjust to being my first time away from home. I am very social and feed of positive energy, which SLO is supposed to be filled with. UCSD is larger and more diverse. I feel I might excell in the SLO environment, but UCSD is so highly ranked in their program that I feel it may provide more job opportunities after graduating. SLO has a good reputation, but isn’t ranked in Econ. Most student do get jobs out of school, but they don’t have as many connections with large employers due to their central California location.
