[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whichever one has the vibes you like will work. DD has cmc students in her Pomona stats class and she’s taken data science courses at CMC and cs courses at Mudd. It’s a true consortium and while people here fuss over the ease of course registration, we’ve had no issues. The choice of your college can range from your entire social circle to just [b]a convenient place for you to sleep[/b]. [/quote]

How are dorm rooms and dining hall at 
Pomona?

Can you describe student archetype, academic and social vibe without sugarcoating? Thx[/quote]
This is one of the best times to ask this question, so I'm glad you are.

Housing is currently in a crisis. Not in a "omg the kids have no rooms" way but there is a major change in housing this year and normalization of doubles and triples due to the closure of Oldenburg for the CGE: [url]https://www.pomona.edu/center-global-engagement[/url]. The school is still prioritizing making singles available for freshman (usually around 20-33% of the class is in singles) and all the seniors were able to get a single. It does get hot at the beginning of fall semester, but at night the temperature drops fast and dorms cool off. The most problematic dorms now have ac in the hallway for students. Some of the housing is downright luxurious and other housing is pretty poor. It's mostly a luck system but after sophomore year, mostly everyone is happy with their housing situation.

Dining halls are great. Students have 7 options (3 alone just at Pomona), so it is hard to complain. A lot of fancy dinners throughout the semester too.

Students really can be described as hardworking, fun and low-key. Pomona students aren't going to brag about the ranking or school, but they will use it resources, get the national awards, and go on to amazing phd programs while remaining pretty humble about it. Atmosphere  is obviously liberal but there's a pretty loud conservative presence on campus these days. Students are not very pre-professional, so if you're expecting IB central, that is more of a CMC trait.[/quote]
