The competition to get into the necessary classes is already high amoung second and third year students.

Once you do, you will have a fun time.

The type of student to attend this school needs to be able to focus their attention to their work without becoming too completely overwhelmed.

People that are most concerned with social life should not attend this school. Cal Poly Pomona places a strong emphasis on academic achievement.

Cal Poly Pomona is a school that requires people to be very strongwilled and persistent. The school is not overly difficult to be accepted in, but it is harder than other schools when it comes to finishing. Students that are not willing to actively change themselves in order to adapt with the environment will not attain the best possible education, and probably not succeed in class and life, so they should not attend the school.
