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.

Awkward Much?
I'll be honest... most guys are at least semi-awkward at Pomona. They're mostly nice, but generally not the most conventionally attractive bunch.

Awesomeness
I love Pomona because there are so many people here willing to help you. Study abroad, housing, food, financial issues, even the professors... they're awesome. The people here are generally really fun and party just as hard as they study, which I personally appreciate a lot!

Dorms vary, but generally they're nothing to complain about, especially compared to other college dorms.
As you get older, the dorms get nicer.
They're also building a new dorm that looks like it's going to be ridiculously nice.
The kitchens aren't too nice on South Campus, especially.
Parties often happen in dorm rooms.
Room draw is crazy, but fair.
Lots of options.

It Is What You Make It
It really depends on where you come from. My hometown is way more diverse than Pomona, but for many people it is the most diverse place they've ever seen. If you want a diverse group of friends it's not too difficult. There are plenty of student groups and cultural activities, so it's really what you make it.
In terms of socioeconomic diversity, it's mostly really rich people (some of whom will claim to be middle class), really poor people, and a few actual middle class.
Most people here aren't religious, I'd say, but there are services and ceremonies offered for every religion if desired.
