[quote=Harmony]I am planing on applying to either Cal Poly Pomona or San Luis Obispo. I just wanted to know what is the difference between the two schools and which one is easier to get into. I am still undecided on what my major will be, but I am considering computer engineering.

Also which school do you go to and how do you like it there?

i know both schools very well and have many friends at both. slo is ranked first academically in the 23 campus csu system and pomona is a close second. both are better than some of the uc's. pomona has about 3,000 more students so is bigger overall but only has 3,000 students who live on campus while slo has more than 6,000 on campus so more a residential campus. both campuses are very beautiful but slo is stuck in the middle of nowhere while pomona is a half hour to the beach or the mountains or downtown. so much more action. slo is better in engr and arch while pomona is stronger in business and has the second best hosp mgmt program in nation. i think the main difference is if you want more a suburban or more rural campus. they are more alike than almost any other universities in the country. can't go wrong either place. both are strong in computer pgms and engr.
