Good school. Our daughter graduated there. Food Science. Engineering and Agricultural programs are strongest. The campus is to notch. We call it Club Med. The Outrageous extravagence of wealth in our university campuses in this nation is a bit obscene. As the whole racket goes Poly is not too ex...

Lack of support for the students is ridiculous. Students should be allowed to enroll in the classes they need. Cal Poly needs to hire more professors so students can graduate on time. This is an issue that needs to be addressed. An issue, that is long over due.

Absolutely beautiful. Everyone is very happy, friendly, and willing to help out. From the students to the staff they are willing to go out of their way to help you.
Some of the housing is older and looks a rundown on the exterior, but the interior is well kept. The campus is compact enough where yo...

You can get eats at the Campus Market, which stocks Cal-Poly student made goods...or get good fresh Bagels at Einstein Bagel shop. If you have a handicapped placard, you first need to get a day pas...

I grew up in SLO and attended Poly as a Liberal Arts major. My father was also a Liberal Arts Professor there. As with any school, it is difficult to get your classes. You must be on the ball, get up early, and get through the process. I did that, and never was delayed by not getting my classes....

Famous school but buildings are getting old (at least for electrical engineering). There are a lot of teachers in this same department that have no idea on how to teach, and I am quite sure the department has received our reviews, and even so, these teachers are still here.

Cal Poly has much to offer..excellent professors, small(er) classes, and reasonable costs. Engineering students are able to begin technical classes in their first year of school, which provides opportunities for summer jobs in the technical field related to their studies. At first I was skeptical b...

I ve been buying my tomatoes here for years. They have an excellent selection of very healthy plants. They also provide plant summaries so you can choose wisely for your needs and get nice variety. I always get many colors: purple, yellow, orange, black and red. An especially nice feature is th...

Thank you to the parents who send their friendly, happy, respectful children to CalPoly. For the most part they are good for the town and neighborhoods. I miss them in the summer, and welcome the excitement when they return in the fall. This, of course only applies to the friendly, happy, respectful...

Most of the faculty is apathetic, and the few professors who genuinely care about their students and their subject don't seem to last long. The administration is the worst of any school I've ever been to; they constantly lose records, and never respond to requests in a timely manner. CalPoly also ...

I challenge you to find a single student with a complaint about their school. The overall experience I've observed turns these kids into leaders and go getters. The positive stigma of achieving a degree at Cal Poly SLO is comparable to any of our nations best universities.

The California Polytechnic State University is a beautiful campus with nice staff. The trails that go off of the campus such as Poly Canyon are gorgeous and fun to hike, bike, or run. On campus activities such as WOW week, the rodeo, and sports games are very fun. The college has a large gymnasium f...

Great looking campus and friendly staff. Graduation ceremonies flowed exceptionally well and water bottles were provided. Parking is a tad inadequate and classes are often located across campus and back again. I wonder if a transit system could be implemented to help provide a way for students to ge...

Best years of my life! Excellent education, professors, peers, and activities. I would not trade this experience or the education I received there for anything. It truly shaped my character and changed my life in the best way. I can not say enough positive things about Cal Poly!

I went to Poly for a masters in Electrical Engineering and MBA. First I should point out that it silly to do public ratings for colleges. I can rate a burger joint, because I have been to dozens and everyone goes for the same thing. But colleges? I have attended 3, which is more than most, but I can...

This school almost never seems to have the students' best interests at heart. This is likely due to poor administration. I am an Electrical Engineering student so it should be known that this is a review from the engineering side of the school. Regardless, they have very few professors who actual...

I took both a general campus tour and an engineering tour. While the general campus tour was quite a bore, I was mesmerized by the great engineering faci...
