California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

"I went to college here for my undergrad. Very good school for STEM, Agriculture, Hospitality, and Business and relatively affordable for the level of education you get. Countless opportunities are available if you search for them, so don't slack of. Join clubs if you want to make friends."

"This school is lazy and doesn't even read applications. On my CSU application I have over 60 transferrable credits that can be applied to my Cal Poly application. The admissions department said I only have 30 transferrable credits and denied me without even reading my other transcripts. Based on this laziness, I will not even consider going to this institution now or in the future."

"My husband and I went with my daughter for orientation. She’s entering as a transfer student The orientation was informative and entertaining and at same time received lots of good info. Campus is beautiful and staff friendly and knowledgeable. Area is nice. I’m excited for my daughter to finish her education here. Update: We’re back in Pomona and have seen more of it and the neighboring cities, visited restaurants and done some shopping at Walmart and had dinner at the Yard House in Chino Hills, a city just 5 miles up the road. Classes are now in session (started today) and there were lots of students on campus this week as they are moving into their apts and dorms. Each apartments complex is co-Ed but the individual apartments are not. I’d feel better as a parent if the apt complexes were unisex. There are student resident assistants that live in each complex and one is on duty at all times. These young ladies attend CalPoly Pomona (CPP) and are seniors. While on campus there was a group of young men on an apartment balcony talking loudly, yelling, and playing music. Sounded like a party. I would hope that when classes start (which is today) such loudness will not be allowed then or at anytime since it’s a campus apt. I did notice a sign in the lobby that states quiet time starts at 10 pm during the week. This occurred after 11 PM on a Tuesday. But what we witnessed seemed to be too much. The apartments are nice, in good condition and clean. They have a small living room furnished with a soda and a chair, 4 bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms, with a vanity outside . Beds and mattresses, desks and a nightstand are provided . Decent size closet space for a young adult. The kitchen has a stovetop, and microwave, fridge/ freezer, and good cabinet space. Kitchen counter also doubles as a bar and bar stools are provided No oven though! And residents told me they are not allowed to have a toaster oven! Still seems a good place for young adults to start their higher education."

"Take my daughter for a visit last weekend. She is considering this school fir her college. It is famous for its engineering program. There are not much people during our visit. The campus is very nice and worth a visit. The student center looks pretty special. Looks like they converted it from an old horse stables and each cell becomes an office. The location is very convenient just off 57 and 10."

"The campus is very nice and open. As we walked through the green campus, we were able to witness all the rose gardens, the Japanese gardens, in addition to trees everywhere. Class sizes are moderate with the largest being around 150 students in a business lecture hall. The most popular majors are business, engineering, and aerospace engineering which is the school's specialty. Tuition is cheaper than UC schools at around $12,000, including dorms. Overall, the school is very beautiful and a ton of construction is going on right now so I expect it to be even better in the future."
