[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How has no one mentioned the shit show of professional and performative protesting that goes on at Columbia on the daily yet? Pomona’s administration handling of the students who violently stormed one of their classroom buildings and tried to prevent others from leaving was handled properly, if you care about such things. Not so at Columbia![/quote]

Turn off your Fox News. Columbia had major issues a year ago. The admin handled it horribly. It has not totally gone away. The campus is now locked down (which is ridiculous). But it is far from daily.

I live near Columbia. Several members of my immediate family went there for grad school. Most kids have a very binary response. It is either exactly what they are looking for. Or it is a total turnoff. The student body is actually incredibly diverse - lots of kids from all over the country and world. Plus the diversity of NYC. [b]Pomona is a relatively homogenous bubble. [/b]One is not better than the other.

All of the Fox News worshippers who might have considered it will no longer be applying for the reasons demonstrated in the quote above. I personally think this is a good thing. But from the perspective of diverse points of view, you will not be exposed to how half of America thinks.[/quote] Nope on the above. Pomona is actually the most ethnically and racially diverse LAC-they pride themselves on that. Maybe get your facts straight. [/quote]

Apologies - should have clarified. The area around Pomona is a relatively homogeneous bubble. You can basically isolate yourself from the real world for four years. Which has its pros and cons - I'm definitely not saying that is a bad thing.[/quote]
