California State Polytechnic University-Pomona Top Questions

That there is nothing around it and the fact that everything closes on the weekends.

The most frustrating aspect of this school was registration; I found it very difficult to find the classes that I needed . Often times classes were not offered or were full, this led to large gaps in my schedule which impeded me from finding a job position related to my field of study. Another item that I found frustrating was the lack of social solidarity amongst the students.

unorganized professors

The lack of facilities. Some of the colleges need more space and teaching materials to really make the experience awesome.

I do not think that there is any frustrating thing about my school. In last summer 2008, there was budget problem and i didn not get the classes i wanted, that really frustrated me and because of that i left behind one quarter from graduating. There is one more thing i do not like about this school is Finance professors. i don't like the way some professors teach. They would just read off of the power points and never really explain the problems well. But it goes for some not all, overall it is good, i like it .

The most frustrating thing is the number of classes that are available. Due to the recent set of budget cuts, this school can only offer a handful of amount of classes.

there's no life around the school, it takes us 10 minutes to get to our car and another 10 to drive to the nearest cool place to hang out

Getting the classes that you need is very frustrating because classes are always full with many students that need the classes to graduate.

Getting the necessary courses in order to complete your studies is the hardest thing at my school. They even predict graduation in five years instead of four.

Parking Availability.

As a architecture student, I believe that we need a better facilities. The drafting tables are in a really bad condition to use, and we do not have a large lecture hall to fit all students that we have to sit on the floor. The program is great, but definately need a better facilities to back it up.

I think the difficulty in getting classes that are needed. though i had priority registration at all times so this was not my problem but I always heard it from other people.

Finishing up homework and test.

The most frustrating quality of Cal Poly Pomona is getting classes that we need when registration time come around. With a huge number of budget cuts being made, classes were less and less available. It is hard to add a class as well, most professors do not want large class sizes and it is understandable, to want a small class. I feel that smaller class sizes are in our best interest as students. However, more of the "needed" classes should be opened.

No supportive help in future decisions from advisors or professors and the whole school from administration to financial aide is completely disorganized.

Given that it is a public state university, Cal Poly Pomona, among the rest of the California State University system, has suffered from the state buget cuts this past year. Before the cuts, it was difficult enough to enroll into classes. The cuts forced numerous teachers from the science and math departments to be fired. Keeping in mind that original enrollment difficulty, science and math classes were cut in half. To add insult to injury, those classes majorly consisted of general education classes required of Engineering majors, which is what the university is widely know for.
