UCSD or Cal Poly Pomona for ChE?

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>I was accepted into both programs as a chemical engineer.. I know the prestige that comes along with going to a UC but from what I read the SD's ChE program has only been around for about 6 or 7 years while Cal Poly has been around much longer. Its' ChE program produces 1 out of 14 ChE coming from the school and I have found no facts like that from the UCSD program...So I wondering what is your take on the two colleges? Which is better for a ChE regardless of the prestige of the UC and rather from the specific ChE stand point?</p>

<p>if you want to just get a job, go to Cal Poly. It will be cheaper unless your financial aid package is super amazing from UCSD. </p>

<p>If you want to do research, go to UCSD.</p>
