I posted this on the California Colleges board, but I figured here might be a good place as well since this it is specifically the engineering programs I want to find out more about. I’m trying to decide between going to San Jose or San Diego. The school I really wanted to go to was Cal Poly Pomona, but I was unfortunately waitlisted. I will still go there if they do decide to accept me. But obviously I still need to decide on a back-up plan in case they don’t.
How would you say these schools’ programs stack up against each other. I’ve searched on this site and from what I’ve gathered San Jose has the better program. And of course they also have the added benefit of their graduates being recruited by companies in Silicon Valley. So is the San Diego state electrical engineering program good? Is San Jose’s that much better? And how are the job opportunities, recruiting, etc. in San Diego?
I like the idea of San Jose because of its location in Silicon Valley, but at the same time I feel like I would enjoy San Diego more.
