At times I still wish I would have applied/graduated from Cal Poly but I'm far enough along that that feeling is fading fast. You just need to remind yourself that school is just a stepping stone into a career and after a few years of establishing yourself professionally, the usefulness of school and the name brand get left by the road (with some exceptions).
In my opinion, if you can easily bankroll it and you're in a good spot for getting a job after graduation (re:internships) then go for the UC. Otherwise, pick one of the better ranked CSUs for whatever your career path is. Unless it's Riverside cause fuck that place.
