<p>oh my goodness, this is a good topic ^^^</p>
<p>the cockiest engineering bastards ive met are from Cal Poly SLO…this one guy at a past internship would always talk about why his school was so great, and he CONSISTENTLY reminded me “Hey, did you know Cal Poly SLO has been the #1 mechanical engineering school in the western united states for the last X yrs?”…at first i thought he was just being weird because there was no way in the world that i could imagine SLO being compared to stanford, caltech, or berkeley… i eventually realized that his claim came with an asterisk of being ranked amongst schools who’s highest degree offered is a masters…and the sad thing is that a good part of me thinks that he actually believes SLO to be better than stanford/caltech/etc…</p>
