[quote=Anonymous]For physics, the programs are different. UCs offer more research oriented opportunities, more theoretical physics programs and there is more emphasis on preparing for graduate school. Cal Poly has a focus on applied physics. Cal States have smaller classes and focus more on teaching, though that doesn’t guarantee a good instructor. UCs have larger classes and focus on research, though that doesn’t mean the TA won’t be a good instructor. UCs do expect students to be strong independent learners. Cal States do focus more on teaching. Cal States are less expensive. Cal Poly in particular is really strict on changing majors if the intended major is impacted. Cal Poly didn’t seem to have intense weeder classes. UCs are pretty flexible in changing majors within your school and it’s possible to change schools but you have to do well in the weeder courses. UCs can have weeder classes and deflationary curves. [/quote]
