<p>Cal Poly is a far better school. CSULA has always been perceived as being a very low tier CSU.</p>
<p>How many miles away are you from CPP? My concern is that you say that you live in LA. If you mean LA county and you’re on the east side of the county, then commuting might be do-able. If you mean LA city, then not only will distance be an issue, but those freeways are crowded all day long. </p>
<p>Because its required in general.
Either way I can’t afford anything. But my family managed for dorming with my sister. I dont come from and middle class family.</p>
<p>Are you sure that your “family managed” to pay for dorming with your sister? Or was she given enough aid (grants, loans) to pay. </p>
<p>How come you haven’t gotten your aid pkg yet? Do you qualify for Cal Grants? What is your FAFSA EFC?</p>
