[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what the rankings were but I chose to go to Cal Poly SLO over Berkeley back in the 90s. Maybe the Berkeley national reputation would have been better given that I moved away from California. But for the person I was graduating HS, the smaller, more undergrad-focused Cal Poly was a better place for me. I found my people, gained a lot of confidence, and the focus on hands-on, project-based learning gave me experience that directly got me my first job and set me on a great path for my career. My professional network foundation is from that first job, not college. I've gone on to work for well-known brands and never felt my college held me back.

Might I have had different/ better opportunities if I'd gone to Berkeley, maybe? But maybe I'd have floundered and not found the particular career area that I have done well in (it was not was I was expecting to major in)? It's impossible to know but I picked what felt like the best fit at the time among the affordable choices. [/quote]
