<p>I am currently attending Cal poly pomona to become a chemical engineer. I love the program but I commute all the way from huntington beach, which means spending an eternity on the road. this has lead me to question whether or not csulb is a better option. Is it worth the much longer commute to go to Cal poly pomona? Which is the better school and why is that school better?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Have you considered moving to Pomona or living in the dorms? The reason I say this is that transferring to LBSU may required too much paperwork and you may even cost you some units and thus time. Cal Poly is probably a better campus for engineering anyways. Good luck.</p>
<p>First of all, “CSU Pomona” is not an official name for our university. We still use csupomona.edu because it’d cost to move to a more appropriate “calpolypomona.edu”. In any case, back to your question, I’m also a student of Chemical Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona and if I were you I wouldn’t transfer to CSULB. First, out department is a hidden jewel in case you don’t know. We have great professors such as Dr. T.K Nguyen who is the best you could get for taking transport phenomena anywhere in the state of California. (Including Berkeley and UCLA) </p>

<p>An A in his CHE 311, 312 classes alone would land you a job anywhere in Southern California. The same cannot be said for Chih-Cheng Lo, his counterpart at CSULB who is merely an assistant professor with little experience and industry exposure. Actually, at Cal Poly Pomona we are blessed to have 4 full-time professors such as Dr. Caenepeel, TK, Dr. Ravi and Dr. Dong. Whereas CSULB only has Dr. Larry Jang. The rest are assistants and part-time lecturers… I think I have made my case!</p>
