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!  |
Why bother yourself with this? School is what you make of it, not the other way around. While a "top" school may help one out at the beginning with an easy job interview, it certainly will not make your career.
Cal Poly (both) enjoys excellent programs, students, & professors. I am proud to have attended, and hope you are as well.
