[quote=Anonymous]Our East Coast DC just finished freshman year at Pomona and is a humanities student. The standout features of their experience have been the college’s dedication to languages, free music lessons, and the ease of use/breadth of class choices afforded by the 5Cs. For languages, Pomona has had the Oldenborg Center with dedicated language dining hall and organized daily language tables, immersive language living, and resident language tutors. They have been able to take a regular language class in one language while taking a half-credit conversation class in another, just to be able to keep up the second language. This experience will even be upgraded as of Fall 2028 when the new Center for Global Engagement opens, though the intervening years will need to be weathered with a more makeshift but still programmatically strong set-up. For music, you can continue with or start pretty much any instrument for free in either individual or group lessons. And the 5C access legitimately at least triples the diversity of courses offered compared to other LACs, and is much easier to access than the consortium at Amherst, especially physically. Of course, the weather (aside from late August to late September) is also pretty ideal, though you might end up missing the snow at times too!
