It certainly looks like a great city too.

The learn-by-doing philosophy benefits the students, regardless of their major. Although it's in the California State College system (as opposed to her other two choices, UC Davis & UC Berkeley) it is the most difficult to gain acceptance. The architectural industry LOVES graduates from Cal-Poly, primarily because of the depth of their hands-on experiences. And they will spend A LOT of time in their labs. The quarter system can be an adjustment - 10 week terms go by quickly & this college is not for procrastinators...<br />From conversations w CP students... frosh dorm life is fun! Especially if she attends WOW Week. Most kids make friends for life during the Week of Welcome (plus I have friends who have been part of this program for 20+ years). After the first year, there are other housing options on campus that weren't available "back-in-my-days" at CP-SLO. Off campus housing can be expensive... Plan on biking to class or lots of walkings involved as the campus is spread out... Much like a small city. <br />As far as the city of SLO... It's beautiful, great Farmers Market (Thurs night), activities in the Mission Plaza, great weather & close to the beach & lots of hiking trails. <br />Having moved to SLO 40+ years ago for college, I just never could leave. The job & housing market continue to be challenging, so most graduates leave the area for jobs in larger cities. It's unfortunate, but on the other hand, it's a great community to spend 5 years. Plus parents love to visit their students here! <br />The last plug... We could meet up for coffee & a photo walk... Is this a convincing comment? 😄Christine E-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306387763796639856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383213396413989191.post-61353699097560281472016-04-10T06:06:15.224-07:002016-04-10T06:06:15.224-07:00SLO is one of my favorite California cities.

Such a difference between the old ones - clearly handmade - and the modern ones! I'm looking forward to learning which college your daughter chooses to attend. They are all wonderful options! I'm sure she'll pick the one that's best for her, and she will do well wherever she goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383213396413989191.post-79052814149342274972016-04-10T01:55:40.514-07:002016-04-10T01:55:40.514-07:00What a truly delightful place.
