Around Town

San Luis Obispo is a very cute town with a lot of entertainment to offer in the surrounding areas. While it may not be an urban scene, the town and surrounding areas offer an adventure for current and prospective students.

I like to go to the beach. In my first year, I went to 4 different beaches which was really amazing. Hiking out here is also big, there are many different places to go. Traveling a city away to go visit sand dunes or kayaking is really easy, it's also fun to even walk down the streets to see the stores and cafes. I also like to go up to the different animal units to look at how the pigs or leopard tortoises are doing, or go to see the cows. That is a part of my academic curriculum since I'm an animal science major, but regardless, seeing some baby animals is always sweet. There's also a really neat area nicknamed "Arch Graveyard" where the architectural students will build senior projects, some of which stay up.

Hiking, going to the beach, hammocking

Surf!

Hiking, beach, basketball and football games, active fraternity life, awesome gym.

Cal Poly is a great place to be if you like hiking. We have plenty of hikes, including hiking to the "P", Serenity Swing, Bishops Peak, Madonna, and just exploring Cal Poly's architecture graveyard. Cal Poly is also pretty close to the beach. A short 15 minute drive can get you to Avila Beach and add 10 more minutes and you get to Pismo Beach!

walking around the campus is fun! everywhere you go allows for a fun experience.

there is so much you could do! you could go to their amazing rec facility, go enjoy nature and go for a hike or down to the beach, or join a club.

They have an amazing three story gym with a pool, and free membership for all enrolled students.

You can join one of the many clubs, be a part of Greek life, or go hiking on one of the trails. Oh, I forgot to mention, BOWLING.
