[quote=Anonymous]It takes an hour to get to Downtown Los Angeles from Pomona College, utilizing the Metro train adjacent to campus.

Once you're there, you can take the light rail E to Santa Monica beach. It's not some impossible destination.

Neither of these options are affected by LA's traffic.

If you want to drive, going on Saturday/Sunday (when students are generally free) is when traffic is light. Currently at 12PM on Sunday, google maps is showing a 40 minute drive to LA and an hour drive to Santa Monica.

A quick look at Pomona's website details a funded internship program for Los Angeles companies and organizations. 10% of the student body participates each year.

Public transit from UGA (Athens GA) to Atlanta takes a *minimum* of 3 hours. Driving takes 1.5 hours.

There is no public transit from Amherst to Boston.

Obviously there is no comparison between the access to LA to say, USC and UCLA, but there's no doubt that Pomona students can benefit a major metropolitan area far more reasonably than Amherst students can. [/quote]
