CalPoly SLO vs Pomona

College Majors Architecture Major
1

<p>I got into Pomona for architecture and SLO for business (not arch for slo) but am having trouble deciding which to attend.
I want to study both architecture and business and no matter the school and will attempt a double major or a minor in one or the other.
I have visited both cities and schools and prefer SLO by far.
Pomona is supposedly easier and will most likely offer me higher chances at double majoring than SLO. </p>

<p>What is troubling me now is this question.
Should I stick to Pomona's architecture school and try for a double major, and run the chance of not enjoying the atmosphere and life at Pomona, but at least have the comfort of being able to study both of the fields of study?
Or should I stick to SLO's business and attempt to double in their architecture program? which i'm assuming will be way harder to be allowed to double major, but at least their business school is better, i like their city way more, and if i get into their architecture program, id be in an overall better ranked school for both majors.</p>

<p>Put simply. Is SLO worth the risk?</p>

<p>You need to find out what the chances are you will be accepted to the SLO B.arch program after starting there as a business major. I believe it is low. </p>

<p>Additionally, I don’t know if you really could double major with all the time is takes to do B.Arch so then would you drop your business major? You will then be spending 6 years to get the 5 yr degree at SLO since you still need to get in the following year. If you stlll want to do business, then you would need to follow with an MBA, another 2 yrs, so now you have spent 8 yrs.</p>

<p>Alternatively, you could go to SLO get your business degree and get a M.Arch afterwards. 4 years for your BA and 3 for the M.arch is 7 yrs.</p>
