Student Center and Library

The facilities at Pomona College are great. The student center is a large space with outdoor tables, greenspace, student store, fireside lounge, and other cool places to hang out or study. The coop, a student run restaurant, is also a great place to play pool, study, and hang out with friends. The library, shared by the Claremont University consortium is vast with great places to get work done. It also just renovated a cafe space which is very modern and very popular.

Facilities

Between all five campuses, our athletic centers are sure to be open 24/7 and available for use. The Pomona one usually has only two or three other people in it when I work out. It has seven treadmills, some ellipticals, StairMasters, stationary bicycles, and other equipment. Our weight room is a separate room, and I've never been in there.

Smith Campus Center is pretty neat. It has a store (The Coop Store), a restaurant/hang out-type place (The Coop Fountain; it has pool tables, foosball tables, and several TVs with free rentable gaming systems), a cozy area called The Living Room (this contains our mail center, a fireplace, two TVs available for use, six computers and a printer, and SO MANY comfortable and colorful couches, sofas, armchairs, futons, ottomans, etc)) the Career Development Office, the Business Office and all those other administrative buildings, the ASPC (Associated Students of Pomona College) Office, the Draper Center (community engagement and outreach options, ideas, opportunities, and programs), Edmunds Ballroom (for parties, lectures, hypnotists, whatever), Dom's Lounge in the basement(for parties), the Poster Lab in the basement (where you can make posters to advertise your club/events for free), and many empty rooms upstairs that can be used for club/organization meetings (just sign up!).

The library shared between the five campuses is Honnold-Mudd and is located pretty centrally between them. It has four stories (with the level of noise allowed decreasing for ever story), PLENTY of study space and outlets, and a HUGE number of books. There is also a store with pretty expensive prices and a cafe.

There is always SO much to do on campus no matter WHAT you're interested in. So many clubs, parties, free food, activities, etc.

Our campus is absolutely beautiful and was designed to look like "a college in a garden." In addition to our flora, we have many beautiful fountains and great lighting effects.

Big University Resources With the Little Liberal Arts Classroom

Facilities are shared among the 5 colleges (and 2 graduate schools) who belong to the Claremont Consortium: Scripps, Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Pomona. Activities give you the opportunity to meet people from every school, and there's plenty of room for choosing from the numerous dining halls. The library is comparable in size to one at a larger, research university, and even when it lacks what you need, you have access to the resources at 100's of other universities in California and the Southwest through the online databases, Link+ and InterLibrary Loan (ILL). Athletic facilities, however, are divided; Pomona and Pitzer form athletic teams together, and consequently share facilities and gyms, while Harvey Mudd, Scripps, and CMC form another (rival) camp.
