<p>would you choose Cal Poly San Louis Obisbpo over UCSB/UCSC???? Cal Poly is ranked #5 on the US News Masters University list... UCSB is #45 on the US News University list....??</p>
<p>I would choose the school I'd be happiest to attend for the atmosphere, type of people who attend, etc. What YOU do in college is going to matter more than the rankings; a student who just attends classes and graduates with a good gpa at school A on your list is not going to be anywhere near as attractive a candidate as someone from a lower-ranked school who was involved in activities, got internships, etc. And even a few years after you graduate your college is going to be irrelevant; companies will care about what you have been doing on the job, not the name on the diploma.</p>
<p>ABSOLUTELY NOT. Cal Poly is a tech school and I ABHOR tech schools. Besides, UCs have a better reputation than Cal Poly even though I still think UCs are overrated.</p>
<p>CalPoly's math/tech oriented. I don't like the school. I would def. chose UCSB,but still I don't like UCSB that much either (hard-core party school.. it gets sick)</p>
<p>Actually UCSB is pretty well-known for scienes and engineering too.</p>
<p>I chose CP over davis. Overall, UCSB, Cal Poly, and Davis have similar reputations. The atmosphere and tuition savings was what decided it for me.</p>
