<p>I’m not quite sure of your angle with this “older white men” thing. I’m not exactly sure what the diversity of professors has to do with what type of education you’ll receive, in which the ranking lists will tell you that SLO will be your winner.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, you’re ■■■■■■■■, like the rest of the people who post on here requesting a difference between SLO and Pomona.</p>
<p>Though I haven’t researched any, I’d like to bet that most of these professors don’t have their own firm because they are bonafide academics. Most professors at big colleges like to teach next to their firms or businesses for, guess what, extra money. Like 08alum so astutely said, these professors are passionate about their fields and interests and are projecting it onto the students of San Luis Obispo.</p>
<p>I suggest you do some research of your own, not simply rely on biased forum-goers to assist you in deciding the next 4+ years of your life. As you said, it’s close to decision time, and I’m not quite sure why you’re now trying to figure out which is better for you. If you don’t like the “diversity” of the school, go to Pomona. Chances are we probably wouldn’t want you anyway.</p>
