The best thing about my school would be the amazing community of staff and students that help build your successfull future. There is such a great diverse background that everyone has something unique to offer to each other. It is an experience that cannot be weighed by money or time, it can be just felt within. I have learned not only textbook material well, but also have had great practical implementation with hands on projects, especially following our college mission of "learn by doing."

The classes are very good, and interesting. The hands-on learning idea begins immediatly. The campus is also very pretty.
Jasmine
The best thing about my school is definitely the diversity of the student body. I love being able to turn around and see a student of a different ethnicity each time. There is no possible stereotyping of my school based on a majority of the campus being occupied by a single ethnicity, because the diversity is so great that there is no majority.

The best thing about my school is how interactive the students are with the Professors. The professors I have had so far were extermely helpful and have made the first quarter an awarding experience.
Olivia
I consider the best thing about my school is the diversity. There are so many different people coming from all kinds of backgrounds, so most people are really open-minded towards one another. By meeting so many people, I was able to learn a lot about different cultures.
Bill
The thing that I think that was best about my school was that it was diverse in what it had to offer and the intellects/personalities that I had met there.
Claudia
I consider the best thing about my school is the affordability and financial assistance.

I consider the environment best about Cal Poly Pomona. There are several gardens, agricultural land plots and areas with animals. Where ever you go, there is always something new to see, even if you've been there a year or two. As well, the community is best. The teachers there are all nice and care for the students, producing a stronger teacher-student bond.

The best thing about Cal Poly Pomona is the atmosphere of the campus. Even when there is a lot going on, it is still peaceful and relaxing. From a club fair in the student center to job fair in the quad to a rally during our University hour there is always something going on for anyone if they want to take the opportunity.

The best thing about Cal Poly Pomona is the great professors they have in the Apparel Merchandising and Management department. Each and everyone are very knowledgable and are willing to help their students as much as they can. The professors are well educated and offer their students great job opportunties not only through the school but also ones they know of personally. Professors in the Apparel Merchandising and Management department are always thinking about the students and what is best for the students. They constantly have meetings that each student can attend several times a quarter.

Cal Poly Pomana has a very diverse and mixed student body, as a result, there are many clubs and student organizations available. In a sense you are able to learn about different cultures on campus as well as meet different types of people.
Sheena
The best thing about Cal Poly Pomona is how diverse it is and not only in terms of students and faculty who attend this college, but how great each major is. Unlike some universities that really only specialize in a few majors, Cal Poly specializes in many- Agriculture, Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Hotel and Restaurant Management just to name a few. I think that Cal Poly is so unique in this way. Even though Cal Poly itself isn't really a cohesive community since it is a commuter school, it's obvious that the people within colleges are very cohesive.

An incident occurred with my roommate earlier in the year which the administration chose to dismiss, despite multiple housing and university policies citing a "zero tolerance policy" for the sorts of behavior I endured. This sorely damaged my respect for the university. I know this incident does not reflect the entire integrity of the school (indeed there have been many other more pleasant experiences I have had here), but it has cast a bitter shadow on the pride I originally took in my school.
Sovannara
The best thing about Cal Poly Pomona is that it has a lot of different majors to choose from such as Apparel Merchandising and Management to Engieering all in one.
James
My participation on the Mock Trial Team. I participated in Mock Trial in High School, but I have not done anything like that since 1983. I enjoy the competitiveness of the atmosphere, and the coach is very helpful and I am learning a ton.

Most of our classes are around 30 students. It make it easier for the professor to answer the students' questions and keep them engaged. Being able to sit close to the professor helps you to keep focussed because he can see you and remembers you. It gives you a reason to go to class, your professor knows when your not there. It also helps to build relationships with your classmates. Studying with peers makes a world of difference. I know from experience of group studying compared to when I do not group study.
Angela
Landscape. Great places to study and be surronded by friends.
Jennifer
There are plenty of resources, clubs, and professors to talk to. But the best thing that I love about Cal Poly is that it is a "hands on" type of school. Our philosophy is "learn by doing," and I think that is the best way to learn, and be able to apply that to our job.
Gregory
The professors are the best thing about the school. Cal Poly's motto is learn by doing, which is reflected in the lab courses offered in science and engineering majors, and the required senior projects in most, if not all, of the majors. These types of learning activities would not be successful were it not for the dedicated and knowledgable faculty. Most of the professors in the physics department strive to see their students succeed and are willing to lend a helping hand and some ideas in order to see them through.
Andrew
The best thing about my school is all of the awesome people that I've met here. Everybody is friendly and it makes college life so much more fun. I know that by coming here I've met some people that will be my friends for life.
