I think this school is awesome! the best part is the " learn by doing" , I am learning a lot, with help by doing all in groups and by myself.

My overall opinion of Cal Poly is very high and respected. The best things about Cal Poly are its location and Week Of Welcome (WOW). San Luis Obispo is absolutely gorgeous with amazing beaches, rolling green hills, and a lovely downtown area. WOW is our orientation program that I participated in as a "wowie" my freshman year, and lead my own WOW group this year as a sophomore. The program acquaints new students with the campus and surrounding community with fun activities from hikes and kayaking to unique tours of campus and downtown. Our academic reputation is unbeatable and our brand new recreation center is incredible. Cal Poly is all around a fantastic university.

Cal Poly is amazing. The quarter system is definitely fun, but that doesn't mean that there isn't enough time to have fun. Cal Poly has so many clubs that always have something going on. There are always shows to watch, activities to do, and people to meet. In addition, it is located in such a beautiful location. The beach is not too far away, there's plenty of places to hike, and lots of places to shop and eat at downtown. The classes are smaller than a UC and therefore the teachers know you better. They really care for you and want you to graduate on time with the best education possible. The students and faculty are very friendly too!

Cal Poly is awesome. It has great aspects that are unique to SLO. Mostly everyone finds something that he/she loves to do ie hiking or partying. It's a big outdoor community so many people explore in Montana de Oro or hike Bishops. You can also camp out at the beach in Pismo or have a bonfire at Avila. The school is big and you see new people everyday but most everyone is friendly and helpful.

The food here is TERRIBLE. It's expensive, unhealthy and gets old really fast.
The best thing about the school would be the teachers. Most of the teachers I've had so far are really willing to help out and genuinely want you to succeed.
I spend most of my time in the Robert Kennedy Library. This is the BEST place to study.
San Luis Obispo's population consists of Cal Poly students and old retired people. So the downtown and get kind of boring, and unfortunately there's not much else around nearby. There's no big urban area that is within 2-3 hour driving distance, unless you count Santa Barbara. It's pretty much a small beach town.
There's not a lot of school pride in my opinion. Though our Athletic department is decent, a lot of kids don't go out to games, which makes it no fun.
