A state school that tries to pretend its not.
Cal Poly Student: "Dude, Cal Poly is the best but I can never register for classes because they are always full so I'm gonna be stuck there for 6 years."
UC Student: "Sounds like you go to a state school"

A phrase used by some people when your Poly relationship doesn't fit their idea of what PolyAmory is. Usually associated with those that believe Poly means "open," as in "always available for new sexual relationships."
Sarah is in a "closed" Poly relationship. Bill is interested in Sarah, but because she is in a "closed Poly relationship, Bill states that Sarah's relationship isn't "True Poly."

usually where most of the UC-Berkeley engineering rejects go - don't deny the fact that Cal is still years ahead of you in engineering and science
Cal's EECS program >>>>>>>>>>>> any other school's similar program, except for maybe MIT
Cal's Haas School of Business >>>>>>>> *
Average GPA and SAT score of admitted EECS applicants: 4.45 and 1460, 4.0+ and 1400+ for engineering applicants overall, whereas cow poly's at 3.87 and 1280.
that, and the area near cow poly's kennedy library smells like shit - at least we don't have to worry about having an ag department

The official slang name of The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, recently changed to the NYU Tandon School of Engineering by some tyrants on the NYU board of trustees.
NYU Polytechnic, (nicknamed NYU Poly) was originally an all men's engineering school which later became the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, which then joined NYU to become NYU Polytechnic, then left NYU and kept the name NYU Poly. Then in 2014 NYU finally merged with New York University to become the New York NYU Polytechnic Institute. NYU Poly has grown to become one of the world's best engineering establishments, which continued to grow until the Tandon family gave $100 million to the school to rename it in their likeness. Most students and almost all staff still call the school, NYU Poly, or just Poly.

is a private school and a member of the ivy prepatory leauge located in bay ridge in Brooklyn. in the city it is considered a school for slackers who didnt get in anywhere or for kids who got kicked out of their previous schools.
Poly is so lame, no kids party and kids at Horace Mann and Riverdale dont bother to asscoiate themselves with kids from Poly. It has lots of kids from Staten Island and Brooklyn who act like animals and give the school a bad reputation.
