Why West Point is better than Cal? West Point is funded by the Federal Government. The Feds didn’t cut West Point’s budget to the bone, even with the current debt crisis.</p>

<p>Cal is funded by State of CA, and the state government just slashed Cal’s budget like a serial killer.

<p>Would you say the same for Cal Poly SLO, dealing with the budget cuts from the same state government?</p>

<p>Anyway, the United States Military Academy is not really comparable in general to other schools, because it is for those who are aiming to be United States Army officers.</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO is a fine school (although it does seem that it does not get too much respect outside of California), and its graduates are generally well respected in industry. But it does seem like some of the Cal Poly SLO advocates on these forums have chips on their shoulders about something.</p>
