The fact that I cannot have a car on campus. I am trying to apply for jobs in order to create an income for myself so I can apply for apartments off camous next year; however, without having a car on campus it is very hard to get to and from a job.

I am not sure, I haven't started yet.

On the outside there is a lack of ethnic diversity. However, the students come from a wide variety of backgrounds that helps.

If you're looking for diversity, Cal Poly is not the best choice. Cal Poly's students generally consist of white kid from upper class families. It can make it difficult to adjust for people from ethnic minorities and for people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

While I love my school, I would say the worst thing about it is the fact that they are increasing the amount of incoming students. It is getting annoying that the library is slowing getting too small and that I now have to search around the UU for a good table. I wish the University would look at how much public space we have and how a larger incoming class sie would affect that.

The worst thing about my school is that everyone there put so much pressure on you when you don't know your major. It is really annoying and they make you feel bad if you are not sure about what you want to major in. I felt like if I attended another school, or community college, people won't make a big deal out of it.

The worst thing is probably the amount of work one is required to do to get a good grade.

The limited food selection on campus is one of the worst things about CalPoly.

Nicholas

The worst thing about Cal Poly is the campus dining plan. As a freshman living on campus, the school requires you to pay for a dining plan. The problem is that the food is overpriced and generally quite unappetizing. It seems strange to me that a school so agriculturally based would not take advantage of that and provide quality food that is locally grown. Instead, most of the food they serve arrives frozen. However, this is not a reason no to attend Cal Poly. After your first year, you have the freedom to choose your own food.
