If New England didn’t exist. Williams is superior by every metric. |
LOL If you like tiny, woke and lacking CS, it’s fabulous. The ongoing nonsense with the administration is the icing on the cake. |
No bias, pps? Lol. Both are highly rated and compete for the same top students. |
Haha, hardly. They don’t even compare. |
It has a CS department…with 10 tenured faculty…that’s been running for decades… |
Is an LAC supposed to be big? The Claremont colleges are now at 8,000 students, so I’m not sure how many students you’re expecting. |
For parents out there, the CS lottery was lifted this year; they actually have excess cs courses and can teach more electives now! With access to Pomona CS and Harvey mudd electives, 100% worth it. Lot of alum at Google. |
| Amherst is a much better, well known, and important institution. |
Dream on — from parent of a current junior. You Pomona boosters are insufferable — stop making things sound so much better than they are. Three profs are on leave. Others are not tenured. And the admin is a revolving door. https://www.pomona.edu/academics/departments/computer-science/faculty-staff |

Harvey Mudd. Pomona. Claremont McKenna. No deadlier combination.

Professors go on leave at every institution. Any good institution should have a sabbatical process that is consistent and where subjects don't overlap. There are factually 10 tenure-track (not tenured) professors. There is only one individual on there who is not on the tenure track, which is not common at LACs, which tend to depend on lecturer/visiting labor, this is actually a good thing. I can't help you with the admin issue, because you posted nothing indicating that to be true. What I can see is that you are catastrophizing a bit. 10 tenure track professors is pretty decent for such a small college. Amherst has the same amount of faculty as Pomona, and it has 200 more students. |
What do you get as a parent degrading your own kid's school? Sounds like a lie. |
| How often is Pomona campus smoggy/ poor air quality? |
Everyday, it’s basically Wuhan, China! Three masks medical grade every day. Campus has daily ash pickup DONT GO |
It's the anti-Pomona troll. |
