missmarilyn:

I’m guessing a lot of students (such as myself, actually) applied to both SLO and UCs and didn’t end up getting into the UCs they wanted… my safety UC didn’t accept me. SLO is the other good/cheap option!

yeah, I get that, but our daughter did get into the mid tier UCs (SB, I, D). She turned them down for SLO, and one of those reasons is that SLO never felt to her “impacted”, for lack of a better word, in term of feeling like a crowded place like some UCs do. That has apparently changed now. Now you’ve got such rapid intentional growth that dorms have mandatory triples, which is a different experience, and possibly detrimental to studying, vs. doubles. and why? b/c now apparently Cal Poly is as growth hungry as the UCs… and we know how much they value undergraduate students (roll eyes). Where the hell are three young women going to fit their clothing? I mean for guys its no big deal… maybe ten pieces of clothing get you through a whole quarter. But girls? Girls rushing sororities? Two small closets for three women?

Basically I’m saying it sounds like the Cal Poly culture is going to change, quickly. Crowding changes the way people treat other people, and the way they feel about their environment, and neither is positive. The first change is to admit students where facilities are not yet ready… very UC like.
