Hey guys, I got accepted into Cal Poly SLO and UCSD but need help deciding where to go. I was accepted as a Statistics major at Cal Poly and a Mathematics Probability and Statistics major at UCSD. I’ve visited both colleges and although I liked UCSD’s geographic location better, Cal Poly had more of a college town vibe imo. If you were in my shoes, what would you pick?
For academics, UCSD has a really strong math department. It’s definitely not a college town/party school like Cal Poly, but you can find your scene pretty easily. Once you turn 21, San Diego is the best college town (everyone gets bored of frat parties eventually, downtown San Diego and Pacific Beach can’t be beat)
Thanks for your insight. I’m leaning towards UCSD.
