Hello Again!
In todays (not so) thrilling update is Cal Poly! This fine college is located in San Luis Obispo, a land of great views and opportunities. It is located right by the water, giving a great opportunity for learning about any of its 64 offered majors. At first glance, the only difficulty seems to be that you must be admitted with a declared major. No time to ponder your future here!
On to some quick statistics about Cal Poly. It host a moderate student body ( at 18,762 as of Fall of 2011), with a staff of 1,244 ( also in Fall 2011). The total faculty to student ratio, including management and part time work, ends at approximately 19:1. Including its many ranches and offshoots, the campus size totals at 9,678 acres! In fact, Cal Poly is the second largest land-holding university in California, second only to UC Berkeley ( Go Bears!). The student ratio is men 54% to Women's 46%, which is not good odds for male dating life. However, girls are in luck!The average GPA for a high school graduate is 3.84 as of Fall 2011.
Whew. That was a lot in one paragraph. Got it all? Feel free to go back and read it again if you want. I'll wait.....
I'm assuming you either didn't go back, you are done rereading, or you can magically read two things at once, but I journey to my conclusion! Overall, I see Cal Poly as a great school for anyone interested in sciences. They have a beautiful campus, and while it shall never be Berkeley in my heart (or in size...) it is a noble and proud college to attend.
Nice post of Cal-poly! "...San Luis Obispo...right by the water" caught my eye! though it does occasionally get chilly in San obispo.

Yep, Cal Poly is not a bad school to attend. What's unique though is that they require you to declare your major, which is a good rule to have. Course work for your major starts at the moment you step into the classroom freshman year. That's ideal for people who know exactly what they want to major in because it's every college students goal to graduate "on time", without having to pay for extra years of college in order to complete graduation requirements. If you're still undecided though, that puts you in a tough spot. Eventually you'll have to declare a major though, why not declare it right from the start? Rather than paying more to take courses in college to decide on your major, it makes more sense to decide on your major beforehand through other means.
