Cal Poly: Off the Record (College Prowler)

Rating:
Summary: An Honest Guide
Review: I'd be lying if I didn't say I was the author of this book, so you may want to take my review as a little biased. :) What I can tell you is that I spent a summer working long and hard on this project, not to mention approaching tons of complete strangers to ask their opinions on everything from athletics to academics to dating to drugs. Not only that, but I myself was a student at Cal Poly for four years (2001-2004), so I know what it's like. If you're considering Cal Poly (which, in my opinion, is a fantastic place to live and go to school), this book probably comes closer than anything out there to giving you an idea of what college life in San Luis Obispo is like. There are pros and there are cons-- but if you're thinking about coming here, be informed! There was nothing like College Prowler when I was looking at colleges, so all I can say is that I got really lucky. But I wouldn't trust my next four years to the roll of a die if I had any other option. And now, you DO!
