    A school that lives to its motto, Learn By Doing. Cal Poly, SLO is the best school I could have chosen; I get hands on experience that relate to the learning styles that work best for me. The classes are college courses, but they provide real world experience that isn't available at other schools.

    The education I have received thus far from Cal Poly has really shown me why they are so highly acknowledge for their engineering programs. The attitude of learn by doing is one that I think every school should adopt. Cal Poly throws you in head first and lets you figure it out.

    Cal Poly was one of the best decisions of my life. The class sizes are small and the teachers truly want their students to succeed. Cal Poly prepares their students for the real world through their Learn by Doing motto.
