Cal Poly Pomona or UCI??

Hello everyone I am a senior this year and have to decide between Cal Poly Pomona and UCI for Aerospace Engineering, by May 1st. I am leaning towards UCI at the moment and there is not so many moments left. I like UCI’s campus more than Pomona, but then im stuck between a slightly more theory based study, where I have a chance to do research, or Cal Poly’s very hands on approach, which could be better for learning. I think i’ve almost answered my own question, but please, let me know what you think.

Re: Cal Poly Pomona or UCI??

It depends on your plans for future.
If you want to go for higher studies or you want to start a job. If you are going to start working for a company then go where the courses are more hands on.

I have a friend who did aerospace engr from cal poly pomona and now makes 75K working in colorado. Aerospace @ cal poly > aerospace @ UCI. Ive been to both campuses and have seen their engr dept in depth.

uci is like the davis of so cal... its filled w. desis n i think they have more too.

Re: Cal Poly Pomona or UCI??

davis? wasn't that the college from "Sorority girls" on mtv??

Re: Cal Poly Pomona or UCI??

I dont understand. It shouldnt matter how many desis are in a particular university. Choose your school based on reputation, curricula and what your are interested in doing :P

Re: Cal Poly Pomona or UCI??

To be quiet honest im not even familiar with the term, desis, so I dont know what you mean. Thank you for your responses.

Re: Cal Poly Pomona or UCI??

whichcollege,
never mind what that means - although if you don't know the term, then I think you might be on the wrong site :)

Like 5Abi said, indeed the desi populace is an irrelevant (or at best the weakest) criterion in selection of a University.
