Cal Poly is a great school. Deff better than UCSD in areas like engineering, agriculture, and architecture. Also Cal Poly business ranks quite high.

Cal Poly only offers undergrad and masters, while the others have doctorates. All the UCs have doctorates, and most of the rankings are rankings of schools with doctorates. usnews did a ranking of masters colelges, and i believe cal poly ranked pretty high.

the benefit of not being a research university is that teaching quality is much better, because that’s the point of the school. also, they really stress hands on learn by doing at cal poly, job recruiters think very highly of cal poly.

plus its an awesome place to live! much better social life than ucsd haha
