<p>thanks a bunch Irg</p>
<p>Now that i think about it, I should've applied Early Decision!!!</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I'm a second year. I got in with similar stats to what you have. 3.94 GPA (or thereabouts), 1500 (old) SAT I, 32 ACT. You should be good to go. You will probably have to wait a few months (I don't know the exact dates, but its a ways off) before you get the answer. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Godzilla, how do you like SLO so far? How are the dorms, food, and atmosphere? What are you studying and how much do you enjoy it?</p>
<p>SLO is awesome. I'm originally from the Santa Cruz area, so the weather is a bit warmer. I went surfing last weekend; its still pretty nice here. Downtown is pretty chill. If you haven't already, check out Bali's frozen yogurt, Woodstock's pizza, and Firestone's grill. Those are probably the three most popular places my friends and I go.</p>
<p>Dorms are good, for the most part. I lived in Yosemite last year, and enjoyed that a lot. Basically, there are 3 kinds of freshmen dorms. </p>
<p>Sierra Madre and Yosemite are the First Year Connection dorms. Basically, what that means is you live in a tower with between 60 and 100 people (depending on which dorm) of all different majors and backgrounds. I'm a Computer Engineer, my roommate was a Microbiology major, and an Architecture major lived next door. Its really cool, because you get to know the people around you. Also, in Yosemite, the floors are co-ed, so you don't get a guy or girl dominated atmosphere, which evens things out nicely.</p>
<p>Fremont, Muir, Santa Lucia, Sequoia, Trinity, and Tenaya are the "Red Bricks" and are the major based dorms. Basically, all of the engineers live in Santa Lucia, all the Business live in...., you get the picture. I hear its pretty cool, especially in the engineering dorm.</p>
<p>The third kind are the north mountain dorms. They're primarily for upperclassmen, but due to housing needs, freshmen live in them too. I hear they're pretty nice (huge rooms).</p>
<p>I live in Cerro Vista, which you will learn about when you get here. Its only for second years.</p>
<p>Food is good, for the most part. They just opened up Garden Grille, which turned one of the worst places to eat on campus to the best. I can't complain too much about the food, but I do anyway. If you come here, Vista Grande, Garden Grille, and Campus Market are worth checking out.</p>
<p>Atmosphere is pretty awesome. Most people here will welcome you, no matter what kind of person you are. Its really laid back, which is nice. You will see a lot of people studying as you walk around campus too. You will pretty much fit in nicely here.</p>
<p>I'm studying Computer Engineering. The nice thing about declaring your major on entry is they start you right when you get here. Over the past quarter, I've been learning processor design, which is really cool (to me). Cal Poly really is learn by doing, and we've got the labs to prove it. I really enjoy what I'm doing here.</p>
<p>I hope all that helps. I'll try to answer any questions you have to the best of my ability.</p>
<p>godzilla, is their convenient public transportation? or are you better off having your own car?</p>
<p>godzilla, that was one of the best responses i've received. it makes slo sound more and more enticing. thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>Public transportation is pretty nice. With your Cal Poly ID card, the transit system here in town is completely free. Well, all except that little decorative trolley, but only old people ride that anyway ;) . I have a car, and its quite useful. The parking permit is around $330. Yes, three hundred and thirty dollars. And thats just for one year. So, keep that in mind. Cars are nice, but not 100% necessary.</p>
<p>Also, if you do WOW (orientation), its nice to have a car, because then you can help your leaders out. (I'm was/am a leader) Orientation will knock your socks off. I'm not going to tell you too much so that I dont ruin it, but its definitely worth your time.</p>
