Hello All ,
I’m having a tough time deciding which college to accept due to different pros/cons for each school . For both schools I end up having to pay about $10,000 out of pocket. The only difference is SJSU is offering me $5,000 in work study. However ,would it be easy to get a job in CalPoly? CalPoly does have the potential to be cheaper considering housing is less expensive.
SJSU
Pros
Closer to home
I like urban area life
Lots of things to do
In the Silicon Valley
I want to get my MBA , Lucas Business School
Cons
Acceptance rate is much higher
Not prestigious
Costs about $1,500 more
Commuter school
CALPOLY
Pros
Nice little town
Good connections
Excellent program for business
Heard they do good in LA region & Silicon Valley for internships
School campus life
By the beach
Cons
Farther away from home
Not that many jobs in such a small town
Didn’t receive work study
Might get bored in such a small town
