Cal Poly is one of the cheapest schools for the quality of education you receive, especially for out of state students. It is by far the cheapest school to attend being out of state.

Lots of people are hung up over how great the UCs are compared to the CSUs but Cal Poly is such an exception to this generalized belief. For a CSU price, you're getting so much more experience than what you'll get at a UC. With smaller class sizes and a motto of Learn by Doing, you spend more time learning HOW TO DO what you'll be practicing than learning ABOUT it.
