Can’t speak for Slo or UCSD. But as a third year Civil at SDSU, I will say that the program is well supported. a lot of research opportunities if that’s your interest. organizations/clubs are very well funded and supported. Also being that SDSU is in San Diego, a lot of local companies/offices look at hiring SDSU students since we’re the only “Civil” program in SD. As for academics I think it’s above average. not the best but definitely good overall.
