<p>I am planning on majoring in Political Science. Does it really make a difference which UC I attend? My issue is the fact that I like the environment of UCSC better than UCI, and UCSC is further from home (which is a good thing). Also, would it be bad to consider Cal Poly Pomona as well? I mean I know it's a Cal State, but I liked CPP's campus better.</p>
<p>The Cal Polys heavily emphasize career-oriented majors like business, engineering, architecture, and agriculture; relatively few students go to them to major in liberal arts and sciences.</p>
<p>You may want to compare course offerings at each school to see if any has more interesting courses to take in or out of your major.</p>
