Pros: Small class size, pastoral setting, variety of classes available, price
Cons: Many impacted majors, food in commons less than edible

One sight of the green, grassy pastures; frolicking Arabian horses; modern skyline; well stocked plant nursery and I confess, I was hooked. My son was going to this school!Fortunately, as the price was within my budget and it offered him a wide choice...

Pros: knowledgeable professors, opportunities to learn in smaller groups
Cons: difficult to get into many classes

Cal Poly Pomona, in my opinion, is a fairly decent school, not exactly perfect, but not so bad either. Whether or not you like or dislike this school may depend on your particular major and on the quality of the education provided therein.
