i had a friend/classmate at cpp who also went to slo. he said the following regarding differences between the campuses:
A) students are greatly involved in school activities and school government. not to be involved would make you a very odd person.
B) Agriculture dominated the campus
C) Not much around to do, so most people were into what was happening on campus
D) the electrical engineering department at slo was geared more towards Hardware whilst software had a bigger footprint at Pomona. which is evident in the development of the Computer Engineering degree.
E) the campus at SLO was night and day much nicer to look at
F) did not feel one school was more difficult then the other
letter "F" might be most important from a scholastic stand point, but one can not make light of how campus involvement affects the quality of education
i went to cpp because of the student attitude, 98% of the students are always willing to help out the student to the right or left of them. this is not the case at most private schools (that i visited and was accepted to) and many uc systems. i was shown the campus by people i met just walking around campus. we need a counsel of former students running the school, not some outsider there to make a dollar and go on to the next gig. |
