I loved Cal Poly and the small class sizes. The learn by doing motto is really important. I majored in biochemistry and was hired for my first job over two candidates with masters in biochem. The reason I was hired was because I knew how to run all of the equipment in the lab because of the learn by doing motto. At the time even students from Berkely were not using the equipment that we were at the undergrad level.

And the weather is better. The Sacramento/Davis area is grey for about six weeks in winter.

The town is great and there is a beach. The quality of the students at Cal Poly is really high too so you have a great peer group.
