UCSC vs SLO

Hello CC,
I’ve been contemplating on what school to SIR to, since I got waitlisted at UCD, UCI, & UCSB (all my top 3 choices), and I was wondering the difference between UCSC and Cal Poly SLO. My major is biological sciences and I’ve already visited both schools and I’m leaning towards UCSC based on environment and dorms/convenience alone. However I’m not too knowledgeable about their respective programs for my major so can someone help me with my decision?

Biology programs are pretty standard from school to school. If you like UCSC better then go there.
A happy student is a successful student.
