Cal Poly is amzing palce that EVERY student I've spoken with not only loves the academic programs, but they truly like going to school there and love living in SLO! As a professional who hires, I am truly impressed with the Cal Poly graduates, not only their excellent education, but their willingness and desire to put what they've learned to positively change the world. Cal Poly's "learn by Doing" is not just a motto, it is a educational and lifestyle philosophy that goes far beyond their years on campus.
