<p>I have recently been admitted to both schools and having trouble making up my mind. There are so many different factors about both schools i wish i could combine into 1 awesome school, but I cant so thats why I’m here. A pro/con list would be helpful or just any positive/negative experiences that you have had at either school. BTW i am an agribusiness major at slo and economics at SB! Thank You</p>
<p>I dont know how to answer this but i do know that slo is ranked 2nd in the nation in agribusiness!</p>
<p>well those majors are pretty different, so you might want to take that into account. SLO has a very good ag program. Lots of hands on stuff. I think SB is generally known as more of a party school than SLO, not to say SLO doesn’t have parties though.</p>
<p>UCSB:
UC System
On the beach (literally physically “on the beach”)
Beautiful modern campus
Lots of ducks and seabirds (maybe even a seal or two)
Top rated surf school in the US
Santa Barbara
Research university focus
TA’s galore
No business major
No business ag
Econ is not business – it is more of a social science
Party school
No#1 sports rival is Cal Poly SLO</p>
<p>Cal Poly:
Cal State System – But not really, it is a Cal Poly and there are two of them and both are distinct from the UC’s and the Cal States in teaching methodology.
Near the beach – Cal Poly may be the only school with an active surfboard workshop on campus. You can actually build and shape your own board in the school’s workshop)
Beautiful modern campus
Lots of animals of all types from farm animals to redtailed hawks
Top rated surf school in the US (one rank below UCSB)
San Luis Obispo – the Happiest City in America (see Oprah video on yourtube)
Hands On/Learn by Doing focus
No TA’s, all profs even in the labs
Nationally ranked business major
Number #2 Business ag program in the US
No pressure party school
No #1 sports rival is UCSB</p>
<p>To confirm what OsakaDad and myself said about the rank of agribusiness, here is the link</p>

<p>Also I have hear some agribusiness majors graduate and land normal business jobs in case you dont like the agriculture aspect of it</p>
