Admitted to SLO for CS and to SCU for CS+E but still waiting for more decisions

SLO is 53k OOS and SCU is 57k with merit

SCU Pros

  • Parents went there
  • Close to Silicon Valley
  • Enjoyed campus tour

SCU Cons

  • Lots of people from my school go there, seems kind like high school again
  • Have to take lots of extra classes for engineering
  • San Jose seems mid

SLO Pros

  • More hands on approach to learning
  • Cost is cheaper
  • SLO appears nice but haven’t toured yet

SLO Cons

  • Public school so might not have as stronger connections with professors
  • Larger class sizes

@keen hornet hmm... if you would rather do CS over CS+E id lean towards SLO, but id also try to tour/visit the school before committing
