I am a transfer student and i got into both cal poly san luis obispo and University of Santa Cruz. My major is Environmental Studies/Science and I just do not know which one to choose. I want to attend the better school for my major to ensure I can get into a graduate school. Maybe do an internship and have the best experience possible. Does anyone have some insight? They’re both my top schools.
thanks:)
If costs are not a problem and since you are planning on going to graduate school and UC’s are highly respected research institutions, I would pick UCSC. CPSLO is a good school, and well known for engineering and CS. For environmental science, I don’t think one school is clearly better than the other and that is why I would go with the UC over a CSU, which is what CP is.
Some post-graduation survey information from both schools; you may want to check to see if graduate school information there is useful.
