[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Pomona (like Stanford): Southern California and part of the Claremont consortium. Extremely diverse and focused on first generation and low income admits. Very well rounded and a lot of progressive social collaboration in the classroom. Laid back atmosphere. [b]Not far from LA & beach[/b].[/quote]

Pomona is not at all close to the beach or LA. [/quote]

It’s 2 hours by train or 45+ minutes by car depending on where in LA and on traffic.  My kid has several friends from LA and is there once a month for a day or a weekend.  Definitely not a “go to dinner in LA” distance.

Also very close to Angeles National Forest if your kid likes hiking/nature and has a car.  Also a couple hours to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree.  My kid has been there once each year so far. Lots of closer mountain and desert hikes.  Ontario and the Inland Empire are industrial and ugly but there’s good ethnic food. [/quote]

It’s 1 hour by train to Union Station, with a train station about 2 blocks from campus[/quote]

When people talk about going to LA, they aren't talking downtown LA/Union Station. I grew up in LA, and Pomona is far...[/quote]
