<p>Im trying to decide which of these three fantastic institutions to attend in the fall and was wondering what some of you thought. I am currently undecided on what major I want to pursue in college although I applied to Cal Poly for Agricultural business. I probably want to eventually get my MBA at hopefully some highly ranked MBA school. Here's my concerns with each of the schools:</p>

<p>Cal Poly:
-Hard to change majors
-not well recognized outside of the west coast
-a lot of people from my school are probably going there (none that I am particularly good friends with)
U Washington:
-weather, rains a lot (I am a very active person and like to be outside)
-large size of school
-a lot of people who go there are from Washington (Im OOS) and have their own cliques from high school
UCSB:
-worried about the craziness of parties, people from SBCC in IV
-no real undergrad business program</p>

<p>If someone chose one of these schools over the others and could help me out a bit with my decision I would very much appreciate it. Also if you are reading this at the end and don't feel like commenting, please resist the urge to click that back button and just write down a few words of advice </p>

<p>Thank you all for your comments</p>

<p>I just chose UCSB over SLO. There is obviously a lot of partying in IV, but from what I hear it pretty much confines itself to IV, so it should be pretty easy to avoid if you wish. Also while UCSB doesn’t have a business undergrad, it has a very highly ranked and regarded economics program. Those majors are very related and you would have no trouble getting into an MBA program as an economics major, especially coming from such a good program. Also one thing I didn’t like about SLO is how difficult it is to change majors. Best of luck to you with your decision whatever it is!</p>
