I am a first year student at cal poly and came directly from highschool in marin county, CA last year. I was lucky enough last year to be able to decide between Cal Poly and UCSC both of which i considered about equally good choices and i eventually chose Cal Poly. my criteria was going to a california public school and being close to the ocean. I also like the idea of being in central california. However I now find Cal Poly rather boring and the only factor that is holding me back from applying for transfer to UCSC is their lack of a graphic design program, of which Cal Poly has a rather good one. If you are struggling with the decision of going to Cal Poly, consider these things.
-there is little diversity. i was used to hearing this but it was rather shocking when i actually got here how little brown and black students there are.

-the city does not have much to offer

-the food is bad

-this is something to consider for all schools but i like to be able to seperate school from other life and this is very hard to do when you live in a dorm room.

-there are alot of cute girls here but not very many interesting people/ it feels like a larger version of highschool.

i could say many more things but i have homework to do
