Which university is better, San Francisco State University or Cal Poly Pomona?

Question

Whether it be education, environment, or life experience, which university do you think is better? SFSU or Cal Poly Pomona?

Sorry that I did not mention this before, but my major is Sociology or Behavioural Sciences.

Answer 1

I'm a Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Alumus and I would recommend San Francisco State for you major.

Cal Poly is better known for Engineering with San Luis Obispo having the better reputation of the two.

Also, I'm not a big fan of the LA area. You need a car to get places while SF has a pretty good public transportations. Also, in SF you get all types of people while in Pomona, you're more isolated.

Definately a better life experience in SF... you get the big city feel withouth the smog and crime of LA. Also, the smog from LA ends up over Pamona.

Answer 2

Cal Poly Pomona is a little isolated, but it's not that bad. You gotta drive anywhere in LA.

SF State is on the wrong side of anything fun in SF (other than Stonestown mall maybe). You have to go clear across town. Unless you have a car (and having a car is a huge pain in the butt in SF), it'll take you just as long to get downtown most of the time as it would to go from Pomona to somewhere more fun in LA.

My vote goes for Cal Poly Pomona.

Answer 3

If your an Engineering major. Definetely Cal Poly. I don't know about the other majors. Life experience. SFSU. Its in San Francisco. You need to drive if you want to do anything in in CAl Poly. Cost - Cal Poly Pomona.

Answer 4

I'd go with Cal Poly Pomona. Pretty close to Pasadena and LA, cheaper housing and cost of living...pretty comparable academic programs. I'm probably biased since I'm not a big fan of SF, though.

Answer 5

I dunno but since I am a proud southern californian, I suggest you come to Cal Poly Pomona, woo hoo!!!!

Better weather. :)
