@eyemgh See, that’s exactly what greatly concerns me about SLO. On the one hand, everyone loves the school, and that’s great and all, but I’m not looking to stay there for four years. I’ve heard that it’s difficult to get classes there due to many of them being impacted, and I’ve also heard that it’s basically impossible of for an engineer to graduate in <4 years. I’m still not sure why this is, but I have heard that while it is incredibly uncommon, it is entirely possible for an undergraduate engineering student at UCSD (or any UC for that matter) to graduate quickly if they put in enough work.

Any idea as to why this difference exists?
