[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst is a stellar school and experience. And their brand new student center will open next Fall. Pomona is also building a brand new global center but it will start construction next Fall and it won't be built or ready for several years. It will demolish the Oldenberg center for language so if that was of interest in Pomona, expect a lot of construction/demolition for the next few years. [/quote]
Oldenborg is just the dorm space and you lose one dining hall (oh no there’s only 6 left!). The programming, lecture series, etc will continue in frank dining hall. It’ll be ready in summer 2027, which is for great, because if your child is choosing Pomona right now, they couldn’t have entered Oldenborg until the 2027-2028 school year anyway.[/quote]

Oldenborg is also the dining hall that was unique for linguistic/language interested college kids because they had language themed lunch tables. Sad that will be closed next year and possibly longer.[/quote]
Just got back from visiting DS for Family Weekend. Oldenborg is one of DS's favorite aspects of his Pomona experience. He loves the language tables and currently has a fantastic single room there this year. I was very impressed by the language tables in the cafeteria, which were crowded and very much being used for their intended purpose. My impression is that Oldenborg is dated and kind of ugly in the brutalist manner of its era but has major charm nonetheless. I hope the new building, which I'm sure will be extremely impressive, will retain that charm. DS will probably study abroad and/or want a residence on the north side of campus next year in any event.[/quote]
