Only you can decide. Both schools are great. I know far more about Cal Poly. With regards to the major issue. It is fairly easy to change majors at Cal Poly if you are changing majors within the same department. For example, from Electrical Engineering to Mechanical Engineering (College of Engineering) or from one liberal arts major to another. What is challenging is changing majors from let’s say Accounting (College of Business) to Aerospace Engineering (College of Engineering). Cal Poly gets you started in your major from the first week of your freshman year. Also, Cal Poly is very well known for science – in fact for all STEM majors. I have no idea why you think that Cal Poly is not known for that. You will have no problem getting into a great grad school as long a you have good grades and test well on your Graduate Record Examinations (GRE).
