A day in the life

Residential Students: Our residential students will spend two weeks living in on-campus Cal Poly apartments where they will also experience Cal Poly’s dining hall. Courses will take place on the campus of Cal Poly. All off-campus excursions and activities are included.
Commuter Students: Our commuter students will experience the Monday-Friday Day In The Life schedule from 9am - 6pm (including lunch). These students are able to add the weekend excursions for $125 per day.
