A Fantastic Education

Pomona College is arguably among the top schools in this counrty offering tremendous individual attention and high quality education.

Most classes at Pomona are challenging, but rewardin. We are taught to think critically and thorougly in virtually every subjects. Multiple-choice exams are practically inexistant. Professors dedicate a lot of their time to make sure that students are armed with all the tools they need to suceeed.

As far as i know, the sciences at Pomona are incredible. It is really easy to get research experience with your professors.

As for the work load, students usually undertake 4 or more classes every semesters. As liberal arts students many us take classes in variety of subjects that often unrelated to our major. There is also a great study abroad program office for those who don't want to confine their learning to pomona's resources. However, many departments exprience grade inflation. Aside from that it really is a great school to attend!

Wide Variety and Usually Pretty Good.

On campus dining is pretty good. You have 2 dining halls on Pomona that you can eat at plus the Coop Fountain. The always have salads, sandwiches, pizzas, the basics... then you get some cool 'exhibitions' like steaks, sushi, and burritos. The best part about the dining is that you can go to any of the other Claremont Colleges if you get tired of Pomona's.

Pomona Is NOT Strict

Drinking is probably one of the major factors in every school that determine whether it is considered strict or not. Because Pomona College understands that prohibiting drinking will only make it worse, they provide places where it is safe to drink as well as escorts for when one gets a little more than just buzzed.
