Cal Poly San Louis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO) v. University of San Diego (USD)

Hi:
So i have been admitted to both Cal Poly SLO and USD for college. I applied to both for Business Administration, and now I am trying to pick what college to go to. These schools are totally different, but I like them both!

If anyone has any pros/cons about either college and any suggestions for my decision please feel free to comment! I really need to make a good decision.

I am the kind of student who likes to be involved in my community, take challenging classes, and most importantly I want to become prepared for my career following college.

These are broad statements…SLO is quieter and more remote, San Diego has more of a party and social scene. Private schools give you more attention. USD will have more higher income families and a more formal Greek system. SLO is a public school which can be hard to navigate. SLO is a great town, but not lively. Bigger job market in San Diego when you graduate, you can live there if you want. At SLO, most of your friends will move away or go back home afterwards.
SLO will be all Californians. At USD you have 47% out of state, which means you will be exposed to new people and ideas.
