2. WHY I CHOSE
CAL POLY
✴ Reason #1: I prefer a small, public school in a suburban
setting.
✴ Reason #2: I believe that Cal Poly is right for me because
it has the major Architecture (BArch, BA/BS, MArch,
MA/MS, PhD)
✴ Reason #3: Due to the fact that Cal Poly is the closest to
home, in my opinion, I think Cal Poly would be a great
university for me because it's top major is architecture.
Unfortunately, its cost is a little over my budget.
