<p>So for me, it is down to these two schools, and i don't know which one i want to go to.</p>
<p>pick for me.</p>
<p>information:</p>
<p>I am majoring in computer science</p>
<p>the more prestigious the better</p>
<p>the more liberal the better</p>
<p>the more asians the better</p>
<p>which school should I go to?</p>
<p>UCSB
(10 chars)</p>
<p>Is this a serious question? UCSB of course</p>
<p>^A lot of people don't realize that Cal Poly has many excellent departments in the sciences.</p>
<p>Anyway, to answer the the questions of the OP:</p>
<p>-I'd say the prestige is about equal. Cal Poly will also be cheaper.
-All California public schools are liberal. Some (UCSC, SFSU, Humboldt) are just more liberal than others
-Neither has a lot of Asians when you compare it to other California public schools</p>
<p>Visit both if you can. Students tend to find one campus "fits" better than the other.</p>
<p>I'm doing Comp Sci as well and I'm choosing SB over SLO.</p>
<p>SB has a really good Comp Sci program and if you want you can get your masters in 5 years.</p>
<p>SLO is definitely more conservative.
And if you ever want to switch majors there its a HUGE hassle.</p>
<p>UCSB>SLO in almost all respects, if you ask me.
Better location, better academics, etc.</p>
<p>But visit both, as everyone else has suggested. Who knows? Maybe you'll like SLO's atmosphere better. It honestly depends a lot on the person.</p>
