California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo Top Questions

The quarter system and high expectations are sometimes very hard to handle.

I have entered the engineering school at SLO. Although they warned us of the work load, they didn't tell us that the freshman/ sophmore classes were designed to weed out most of the applicants. It is so hard. Everyone tells us once we hit the junior/senior year it is actually ....easier.

There is alot of hate on this campus because it is not very racially or culturally diverse.

I find that the worst thing about my school is the lack of school spirit and rivalries. We do not get very excited over our sports teams, nor do we have strong rivalries between nearby schools. This is mostly due to the fact that we do not have other universities that are close by, UCSB being a 2 hour drive south and UCD being a 3 hour drive north.

How far away from home it is because I live amost 12 hours away from school and only have the money to make it home twice a year.

The dean, he is very very very conservative. He is a good man but i feel like he holds cal poly from being one the biggest universities on the west coast

The worst thing is how some students waste the opportunity available to them.
