<p>I'm a food science/nutritional science major looking into these schools (among others) for transfer down the line (since I've only just started at community college 2 quarters ago).</p>

<p>Here's so basic information on me:
Community College: De Anza
Acquired Units: 20 transferable (90 required for transfer)
Cumulative GPA: 4.0</p>

<p>Which one has the better program? Which one is more cost efficient (from both living on and off campus)? What kind of financial aid is available? </p>

<p>There are probably more questions I need answers to, but I don't remember right now.</p>

<p>Can anyone help with what I have so far though?</p>

<p>Over a month and still no response?
Big bummer.</p>

<p>The better cost, location, and overall program for Food and Nutrition Science (medical non-ag) out of those 2 CSU’s is SDSU.</p>

<p>I don’t know about the programs, only about the schools. SDSU is in a fantastic student town, with great school spirit, and great weather. It’s BIG, and acts somewhat like a UC like UCSB. On the downside, off-campus housing by the beach in San Diego will cost more than off-campus housing at Cal Poly Pomona.</p>
