Is Cal Poly considered a top school?

Okay, I'm not the most spirited Cal Poly alumni nor am I like those UCLA and USC people who have immense pride in their schools or alma mater, but for some reason I felt a bit taken aback when someone said to me recently that Cal Poly isn't a prestigious school. I know it isn't UCLA or Ivy league prestigious, but I've always thought Cal Poly was one of the best CSU campuses. I did some research into this issue (yeah, who would have guessed--maybe I do have some school pride after all!) and found out that Cal Poly has been ranked as one of the best universities in the west. I already know it is known for its agriculture and engineering programs, but I just wish its CLASS dept. could be a bit more up there. Maybe the comment was made in reference to that.

Hello, btw. I'm a grad student, and I'm new here. It's late, so forgive me for any typos or bad grammar. I can't be bothered to proofread this late...besides, this is the Internet where no one gives a fvck about spelling!
