<p>Hey guys for the poeple that go to cal poly pomona or know the ethnic breakdown are there a lot of asians there like indians, Chinese, etc. I am not being racist at all, I have absolutely no problem and I actually like diversity but I just wanted to get a sense of the different races at this school because I heard its very diverse. Also are there a lot of latinos and is campus life pretty chill like no racism or anything (I absolutely hate that).</p>
<p>Here are the most recent ethnic statistics. By the time students reach college, most of them have grown beyond racism, as a general rule, though I can’t speak to CPP specifically. </p>

<p>Thank You for your reply calla. Just wondering is there anyone who actually goes to the school or has a friend, neighbor, or family member that has anything to say about cal poly pomona. Thank you in advance. :)</p>
<p>I have seen the campus and live in So. Cal so know the reputation - also know some people starting there this fall. CPP gets a bad rap because people compare it to SLO, which is gorgeous. And to be honest the surrounding area is not great, and there is smog. </p>
<p>However, the school is known as a very good school. I know they are making an effort to increase the feeling of student body cohesiveness. You would get a good education there and if you can get involved in clubs or activities or an honors college, you will have a great time, (for much less tuition than you would pay elsewhere.)</p>
<p>I go there. The academics are great in my opinion. I’m an applied math/stats major (1 class away from a minor in physics but haven’t declared it yet). </p>
<p>I haven’t noticed any racism on campus. There’s a good representation of most races and I think Cal Poly Pomona has even been ranked high in diversity. There’s a ton of latinos/latinas. Haha, all of my friends are latinos except one on campus. They’re all pretty smart engineering majors. There are a lot of Asians in a math major. In my general education classes it was very mixed. </p>
<p>The school is great for science and engineering students. That’s where most of the reputation comes from anyway, I think. The price of it is a steal. The school is known for helping first generation college students succeed. I see people on campus constantly trying to get people involved. Orientation was great when I went. The campus of Cal Poly Pomona is pretty. Pomona itself isn’t that great of a place, but it’s not the school’s fault. However, everything is close if you have a car. There’s usually always something going on around campus. The food is decent. </p>
<p>It gets labeled as a “commuter school”, but I don’t think that should influence your judgment too much because you’re not paying tens of thousands of dollars a year to just have a party the whole time, it’s for a great education. There’s fraternities/sororities you can get into though and plenty of clubs you can join.</p>
