<p>What does everyone think of Cal Poly? Do u see it as a mediocre or prestigious school overall? where would u rank it compared to the uc's?</p>
<p>It very well regarded and up there with UC's, esp for certain majors.</p>
<p>Definitely the most prestigious of the Cal States, by far. For overall reputation, SLO would rank higher than the lower UC's (SC, R, M) ....but, as bettina said, certain departments, such as architecture, are nationally known.</p>
<p>How is the Business Program at Cal Poly??</p>
<p>The business program is really good. My sister is actually in it right now and loves it. I'm a Journalism student at Cal Poly and I love it. Cal Poly is more noted for Engineering etc. but the liberal arts college is still very good.</p>
<p>Does anyone know about music performing groups at Cal Poly, what's available and quality? Son received an invitation from their music department to play in a band in April, but can't go due to a conflict with his school band. Neither of my Juniors want to major in music, but if Cal Poly had a good band or jazz group, that would be a big draw. Thanks.</p>
