<p>they’re tough to compare. I would say that UCI is overall the better school, has a better campus, and is located right in the middle of an area filled with software engineering, engineering, and consulting firms, so finding an internship is not difficult at all.</p>
<p>On the other hand, i really like SLO. It’s a lot more rural, but it’s really a fun school. I’d say you’re more likely to get the traditional college experience if go there.</p>
<p>disclaimer: I am a uci student, so that might affect my opinion. I have spent quite a bit of time at SLO, though.</p>
