Cal Poly Pomona

Better than UC Davis, UCSB, UCI, UCSC and UCR in engineering, better than any other school (with the exception of Cal Poly and Harvard in architecture. One out of every 5 licensed architects in CA graduated from this school as well as one out of every 14 engineers. And it's crazy cheap too! (~$3000/yr. for tuition for in-state residents and $11000 total when tacked on with housing). Plus, the new residential suites kick ass.
