UCSB or Cal Poly SLO?

<p>I'm a California transfer student, and I'm looking to transfer next year to somewhere in-state.
My GPA is good--around a 3.83, maybe higher. I'll be transferring with 66 credits and my IGETC completed. Essentially, I'm decently qualified for either school, so aside from statistics...</p>

<p>Which one would you choose? They're both great schools, but is one better than the other? The only reason I'm leaning towards Cal Poly right now is that several of my close friends go there and we were playing with the idea of all rooming together.</p>

<p>CP and SB are my two choices right now, but aside from opinions about those two schools I'd also be open to suggestions for other California campuses :)</p>

<p>Cal Poly for Engineering and Architecture. UCSB for anything else.</p>

<p>That’s easy. UCSB in your case. I also read some of your other posts, and somewhere I believe you said you’re interested in going into law. If so, then again, UCSB. You might catch your friends at basketball games, as UCSB and Cal Poly are big rivals in that area… :)</p>
