Hello, I have been accepted to both CSULB and CPP for civil engineering. I already know that CPP is the better one for engineering, and I already know that CSULB is pretty good at engineering, but not as good as CPP. I want to know which school is the better fit for social/dorm life/ night life and which school is more fun. I also want to know whether or not it is true that if I go to CPP, that I would for sure have better opportunities. I am leaning towards Long Beach because I am a more sociable person and enjoy going out to do things, based on my assumption that that is the more sociable school. What would you guys recommend? Just a lil fyi,I did post this twice. last time on the CPP forum and this time on the CSULB. I also have a question on whether or not will cpp help get a job, especially since im always hearing on how amazing it is as a school. And lastly, I plan to stay in the SoCal region, and I know that Engineers are in demand, so will it matter what school I go to?
Any help??
yall ima bump this 1 more time before i have to chose. cmon
Sorry, I am not familiar with either school programs, but suggest that if you are trying to determine a good fit (for social) and career path, use some online resources to research further. Of course, if you can visit the areas during the day and evening to explore that is always best.
linkedin: search to see where alumni have been hired
yelp: you can gauge what kinds of dining and activities/amenities that interest you have reviews posted.
google maps: to gauge what areas are walk-able (if you don’t have a car)
ocweekly: lists concerts, events, etc
laweekly.
