Decisions, where to go? - Page 2

guess i am just wondering how students in san luis can do as many internships in such a small town. you guys up there have a great faculty and outstanding facilities...just too bad the campus could not be in some place like san jose where there are more jobs and stuff.

Regarding baseball, I'm kinda neutral when the Angels and Dodgers get together. I'm still pissed about the 2002 World Series and my roommate is from Anaheim, so I talk a lot of trash to him. That said, the giants gain a half game every time the Dodgers lose, so I feel pulled in both directions.

Personally I have spent time on both campuses and I as well applied to both campuses for the fall 2005 school year. If I were you I would opt for San Luis Obispo. It is a much more difficult school to get into and tehre are many more things to do there on a regular basis. Due to Pomona's location (which is prime if you have a car) there is not a great deal of night life, unlike SLO where you can find something to do almost any night of the week. I myself if was able to choose between the two schools (I only got into Pomona) would much rather attend SLO. Good luck with your decision. Just be happy you are able to choose! :0)

yes, SLO is the MOST selective campus in the 23 campus system, and pomona is second or third depending on who you ask. pomona must admit ppl with lower scores from its immediate "service area" which includes a lot of bad high schools that don't exist around san luis. i too would pick our northern branch except for one alibi--we have all the job prospects and internships within a half hour that don't exist anywhere on the central coast. so it's a tradeoff.

SLOOOOOooooooo...go to SLO...it has a really nice campus and a very friendly environment. the first two times i went there it was boring because it was on holidays and nobody was there. but the third time i went there (didn't go to open house though...went to the campus tour instead), it was so warm and i can definitely imagine myself there for my next 4 years...lol i really loved it. besides it'd be so cool to have a student from michigan. i already know someone from oregon's gonna be there this fall...hehe (well i don't know him...i met him online) but yea. well good luck with your decisions

phoenixmemori · 04-29-05, 10:38 PM

hey xiaoxue, thanks!! i remember u too

thanks for all your advices from oct-dec (i don't remember exactly when) hehe yea..i know it'd be awkward at first in SLO...but i already got used to it...a lot of my friends are white. anyways, i can't wait to go to college...it's gonna be the biggest change of my life... lol

xiaoxue · 04-29-05, 11:35 PM

am envious of you girl...you guys have a good football team and we don't even have one at all.

going to those games should be fun...but we have awesome basketball that you guys don't have at least not recently. el corral is a terrific bookstore with all kinds of fun stuff and check out pismo beach...it is soooo close to campus!

Giants8307 · 04-30-05, 12:34 PM

Xia- Almost all the internships I've heard of are over the summer, but I'm in biology. Maybe it's different for engineering.

Pheonix- I'll be here for one more year as a 5th year senior. Why leave the party early?

hehe cool, i'll definitely see ya there then! (if i'm lucky enough..lol)

The number of people graduating within 4 years is dwindling nowadays........ especially since both campuses have a quite a large number of "super-seniors."

Personally though, I don't want to spend my entire life in school.

Huh? You're a girl? I swear, you members can be really deceiving sometimes.

In any case, this board can use some more SLO members..... post some flyers around campus or something (if that hasn't be done before).

if that is your picture then i know ppl who want the number of your plastic surgeon!
