Thank you!

Was it bustling or quiet? And
did you have to have a COVID-test to enter campus?

Do you think Cal Poly has completed their acceptances yet. My daughter still has no decision. Just wondering if she still has a chance

It was quiet. No COVID testing required. No gate to pass through. Just park and walk around. This was week 9 of winter quarter. Next week is finals and the week after is spring break. Spring quarter begins on March 29 so I suspect these next few weeks will be quiet.

M S and H went to look last week right after acceptances were released. The one stop I would make, which I heard about on the CP Parents of admitted students facebook page is the horses. There are currently multiple babies and they are nestled among the backdrop of the green hills. It was worth seeking them out.

There is a Hampton Inn there that is clean and inexpensive. Not a resort, but it has worked for us.

We stay here. Hampton Inn and Suites Hotel in San Luis Obispo, CA

Can’t get into too many buildings, I don’t think, so I would say walk around and see as much as possible. Check out the student store and food areas around campus. Drive or walk around the different dorm areas as you won’t know which ones be you will be living in. Check out the website before you go so you have an idea about where everything is. Check out the recreation center and the newest eating area (Vista Grande). Visit the buildings where your major is. Students have to certify every day for COVID so you may not be able to go in but you can look. Check out Kennedy Library, hike to the P (it’s above Poly Canyon Village Apts). You will see it when you drive in the entrance on Grand Ave. The horses are the first thing you see when you enter on Grand also. They are on the right and then the newest dorms, Yakitutu are on the left. You can also park as a guest if you make your first left at the signal (Pacheco Way). Hope this helps.

My daughter has not had any information yet either. We are presuming it’s a no and they haven’t sent those out yet.

1364

Thank you so much!

I think we will be there when SLO is on break, as that is when my son is on break too. Hopefully we can still get a good feel for the campus.

Anyone hear from Cal Poly Slo liberal studies major. My D wants to be an elementary school teacher which is what that major is for but I am fearful students with much high stats apply to that major hoping to transfer to something like engineering !

Before my son chose SLO last year, we visited during COVID spring break 2020. It was crickets but we still got a good feel for the campus. We also did a lot of the virtual info sessions that they will offer soon. We studied the flowcharts for his major so we could see the specific classes he would be taking. There is a lot you can do to make an informed decision. He decided on SLO and it is the perfect fit for him.
