I got admitted to both Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Fullerton for computer science. I am concerned that CPP is more competitive and intense. I don’t work well under stress and like to do it at my own pace. So I am kind of leaning towards Cal State Fullerton. But then I worry that it is not as reputable as Cal Poly and that I may not be able to get a decent job afterwards. Can someone give me some advice please?
CS is a competitive and stressful everywhere. Perhaps it is not the right major for you.
I agree with @NCalRent, that CS is competitive and stressful (younger son at SDSU and can attest to this fact). Both schools have very good CS programs. Pick the school that best fits you academically, socially and financially. A happy student= a successful student.
Thanks everyone, I am considering CPP now as it’s much closer.
