An Overview of the Cal Poly campus, University Housing, and Learning Communities
Overview of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, is part of the California State University System and is located on the beautiful central coast of California. The campus is nestled against the coastal mountain range, situated ten minutes from some of the most pristine coastline in the country. The town of San Luis Obispo has a population of nearly 50,000 residents. It offers small-town charm with a beautifully preserved downtown business district and historical Victorian homes. The surrounding area offers a unique combination of ocean settings and an award-winning wine region that attracts tourists from around the country. The annual average daily temperature of 70.2 degrees allows residents to enjoy the beautiful outdoors year-round.
Cal Poly offers a unique learning experience for its 19,000 full-time students. The campus motto, “Learn by Doing,” describes the strong commitment to experiential education. Cal Poly has been named the “Best in the West” by US News and World Report! With a strong emphasis in technical fields, Cal Poly’s College of Engineering and College of Architecture and Environmental Design are ranked among the highest academic programs in the nation. The student-to-faculty ratio is 19 to 1. The small class sizes and high faculty interaction offer students a learning opportunity rarely found in a large public institution.
Perhaps the best part about working at Cal Poly is the opportunity to interact with the students. Cal Poly has extremely competitive admissions standards with an average high school grade point average of over 3.8. Students declare a major prior to being admitted to the institution and begin major classes their first quarter. In addition to taking a rigorous academic course load, students are actively involved in leadership opportunities offered in on-campus housing and through over 400 campus clubs, organizations and various intramural sports. On any given day, students may be involved in academic labs and projects, working on agricultural production industries on campus or participating in community service outreach. In their spare time, students enjoy surfing, mountain biking, shopping or hanging out downtown, campus recreational activities, or weekend trips snowboarding or skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
