Cal State Poly Pomona or San Luis Obispo?

I'm very interested in Civil Engineering, and now that the month has finally arrive I get to apply to some Cal States. As a curious senior, I'm wondering what's the difference between the Cal State Pomona and San Luis Obispo? I heard they have the best engineering programs, and are in different locations. I've been researching around, and some people say Cal State SLO has a better program for Architecture, on the other hand Cal State Poly has good engineering with some internships.

Any pro or cons between the two, and about the programs would be appreciated and thanks in advanced.

And yes, I'm considering to apply for both (plus other few Universities) and hopefully get accepted.

    The best way to answer this is to go to the universities and visit the town. Since it will be your home for 4 years you want to make sure that it will fit your style. Do you like the country life or the city life? Do you want a place you can relax or do you want a place with a lot of activities? How far away are each places from your home? How often do you plan on going home to visit? Go on a tour and see if you can sit in on some classes, met some professors, talk to the career center, see where alumni get employed, and visit the dorms.

    Best wishes!

    I say visit the faculty that provides the main money. that's a sizeable element which you do no longer likely opt to rigidity approximately in college. as properly that, once you get into top divisions, your instructions tend to get smaller. So going to a great college won't constantly inevitably propose massive instructions. relatively, go the place you would be satisfied too. you would be at this college for 4 years. i in my opinion propose traveling the campus and seeing the place you notice your self going. All 3 faculties you indexed are great engineering faculties, so which you will no longer go incorrect choosing a sort of three. solid success!
