Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Cal Poly is located smack-dab in the middle of Southern California, which means constant SoCal weather. For commuter students, the only downside of the heat is having to walk across campus from your car to class.

The weather allows CPP to hold the majority of its events outdoors because it is almost always nice. Cal Poly is also close to several beaches, such as Huntington or Newport, so there are always weekend beach trips being planned. Be warned, though: although this means 85% of the school year is hot and sunny, it can get cold and rainy that other 15%!

No need for snow pants; it never snows in Pomona. Make sure you pack an umbrella because California has been known for its torrential downpours. CPP students are notorious for wearing flip-flops every day—even if it’s raining! If there is a need for snow, students make the short drive to Mountain High. After all, even the coldest day at CPP can’t compare to the cold, snowy days some other colleges contend with!

Sunny and Warm

It is beautiful almost every day, sometimes it can get very hot but it's worth it. But when it rains the campus can get flooded.

The Weather Is Fine

Weather is almost never a problem at Cal Poly Pomona because most of the time it is sunny. The only time it is a problem is during a rain because it makes it hard to walk up the hills especially on the slippery cement.

The Weather

The weather does not really effect my personal campus experience. Seldom does it rain that is the only time my day is affected since I cannot bike to my class. Overall, the weather is pleasant.
