California State Polytechnic University-Pomona Top Questions

It's great mix between suburban and rural

The college is based upon a hands on learning enviroment that is both benifical to students, as well as faculty.

It was close to home and offered the major I wanted to pursue. Though there were other universities/colleges with that same factor no other school offered the exact major I was looking to study. The fact that it was polytechnic also made it a better choice for me.

Promotes multiculturalism and diversity

Cal Poly Pomona is a university that is unique in that the campus itself is one of the largest in the CSU system. The campus is beautiful, and the campus community is always here to help. The campus has great facilities and the equipment available is fairly new. For apparel merchandising majors, like myself, Cal Poly is the best option when compared to the other CSU schools. The faculty has been involved in the business prior to their teaching careers, and have a high ability in informing their students of how to go about being successful in the industry.

Professors and staffs are very focus in provide a high standard education to all their student.

I was very surprised with the diversity of the students that attend Cal Poly. There are a variety of majors, so everyone gets to focus on their passion. The students are calm, and respectful of others, and the architecture is beautifully landscaped. The agricultural department and animals surrounding our campus are also pleasant bonuses.

This school is known for its hands-on type of teaching. For me, whose majoring in Civil Engineering, I felt this was very vital for me to take advantage of. And unlike California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, it was a little bit cheaper and closer to my family. The weather was also taken into account, and the fact that it is a "GO GREEN" campus was an extra perk as well.

Its one of two Polytechnic Universities in California and one of eight in the US. Learn by doing philosophy and being hands on really sets Cal Poly Pomona apart from many universities. As well as the professors being well tied to the industry and sharing know how to the students which gears us for sucess.

The diversity of grant work that different departments aquire.
