Pomona has been the best decision of my life. You get a diverse, intelligent set of people who are all passionate and you're bound to grow and challenge yourself here. The resources are great, there's some grade inflation, the location is solid and the food is good (with other schools) as well.

Pomona College has been the best choice of my life. You put a bunch of passionate, intelligent people together and you're going to find a place to grow and challenge yourself. The location is unprecedented, the food supplemented by other schools is great, and overall you'll get motivated people who will all succeed with some effort.

Choosing to go to Pomona was the best decision of my life. Amazing professors and amazing people. The other 5Cs make up for what Pomona lacks in food diversity or social scene. I love this place and cannot recommend it enough.
Overall 4.5
I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a dynamic, wholesome, and passionate community: one which inspires you to be the best version of yourself. There are opportunities to learn and develop everywhere, and most are fully paid for/without barriers to participate even without experience. Make the most of each day you have- time goes by fast!
Overall 4.5
Pomona is a super unique place, and if you're lucky enough to get in, don't write off the school because it lacks the name brand of its peer institutions. You'll definitely be challenged here in many aspects, but you'll come out equipped in ways that you won't be @ Ivies and the like.
Overall 4.5
Also they have incredible financial aid.
