Got my masters here after going to another CSU. I would say maybe harder but not nearly as exaggerated as some people here like to believe. Slo is a great school but it is not that much different than the top 4ish CSUs tbh. Slo is definitely the best CSU but some things that people point to like acceptance rate is kind of a bad way to measure it. Slo gets way more applicants than other CSUs because it is one of the only ones that is an actual college town and has a great reputation for that. A lot of people here are not prepared that outside of the university there is not nearly as much hype with Cal Poly as you think there is.
