Which school has a better program and what factors should I consider when choosing between SCCO and OHIO?

where are u from? If u are from CA, go to SCCO, and if u are from Ohio, go to Ohio. if you live close to SCCO, go to SCCO. if u live close to Ohio, go there.UW2002 said:Which school has a better program and what factors should I consider when choosing between SCCO and OHIO?

Where do people study at SCCO since they have such a little library? Is that a problem? Also, do most people live close to the school there in fullerton or do they commute? It doesn't seem like there are a lot of students around. Thanks for the help.

The library is kind of small, but it's never been an issue for me or any of my friends. There are a lot of private study cubbies, and big tables. The study rooms are pretty coveted, but that's intended for small groups and not individuals anyway. I don't know when you toured the school, but we are in the process of remodelling the F building Student Center. Once that gets completed, the section that is the current lounge will become a study area, and the opposite side that is currently offices will become the student lounge. The campus store will also be moving down to the F building, which will free up more room for the library as well. Another thing to consider is that exams for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years sometimes occur on different days, so it's not like the entire school is going to converge on the library (until finals time at least ). A lot of people also prefer studying at home.
As far as living situations, I'd say 80% if the class lives in the surrounding area, within a 10 minute drive of campus at max. A lot of the students at SCCO live in the aparments across the street, or in the school owned condos adjacent to campus. I also have friends that live on Milton Ave. the closest crosstreet to Associated. It gets pretty busy there because it's Cal State Fullerton's frat row, but we've come to affectionately call those appartments the Milton Hiltons.
As a side note, one of the third year class officers is from Wisconsin, if you have any questions for her I'm sure she'd be more than happy to answer them for you.
