SDSU has a huge alumni network, especially in their School of Business.
The internships are up and down the state.
You can’t beat SDSU for the networking, activities, and access to CS.
My husband’s company prefers CSU candidates because they tend to have more real “internship” experience.
The label of UCSD won’t necessarily give you more career earnings overall. Where did you get that information? My husband is a product of Stanford graduate school in engineering. His manager, same major, is a CSU SLO graduate. His manager makes a lot more money in salary and stock options.
