If you hate having fun or enjoying life I would advise against going to Cal Poly SLO. It is an amazing school for both of those activities, in addition tot he great education you will get whiel there.

Students who are unmotivated would not do well here. Also, students who are not sure what they want to do in life will likely have difficulty because Cal Poly requires students to commit to a major at the beginning of their first year.

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school would be someone who doesn't want to learn, someone with a high paying job already or someone who hates life.

Everyone would love this school.

A person that is very unique. It is hard to be eclectic in this environment because you would be the only one like that here.

Do not come here if you crave diversity and action. The community is largely Caucasian, and from what I have experienced so far, insulated from much of the world, or even country in terms of current events and news.

Cal Poly is very focused on learning by doing, which involves a great amount of team work and group projects. People who have trouble working in teams would either benefit greatly from the skills that they learn when it comes to this area, or should choose not to go here if they have a different learning style.

Diversity is emphasized at Cal-Poly, and many people that go to the school appreciate a hands-on education. The ideal Cal-Poly student would be someone who enjoys a more suburban environment, enjoys the outdoors, and must be very willing to apply what they learn to real life scenarios.

One who is unsure of their intended major. You are required to choose upon applying and they make it difficult to change.
