<p>Anyone know how difficult it is to transfer into Engineering after your first year?</p>
<p>Major? ME
SAT? 1330/1600
GPA? 4.2 CSU GPA
Local Area? Like an hour and a half away</p>
<p>I recently applied here and I’ve been hearing nothing but how ghetto the area is. Anyone know anything about that? Also, I’ve been told the social scene is complete trash because its a commuter school.</p>
<p>@billyishot The area isn’t very dangerous I don’t believe. If anything the neighborhoods that surround the school are just old. The school itself is not ghetto in any way. All the buildings and landscape is very well maintained. Not to mention most of its buildings are fairly new. It is considered one of the prettiest cal states. I’ve visited multiple times and it really is a beautiful campus. I think it’s a pretty safe school because it really is a commuter school. A lot of people from the local area like to go there. But as with any school you can find a scene if you want to. There is actually a lot of on campus housing, so if you decided to stay I don’t think you’d be lonely. </p>
<p>So its boring on the weekends? I heard the neighborhoods around it are ghetto and Pomona is a crime infested city, but I’ll take your word for it. Anything else I should know?</p>
<p>@billyishot Out of any time I’ve been there I’ve never been scared even if I was closer to the outskirts of campus or driving through to get to the college. I’ve had friends stay in the dorms who never feared their safety. Its not like UCLA where most are scared to walk out of their dorms for food. I do get the impression that it is a bit boring and there’s not that much to do. </p>
<p>@billyishot As what greenteagirl said, whenever some area is old people are quick to label it as “ghetto.” I would imagine that once you’re on campus you’re pretty safe considering there is a campus security, and security methods in dorms. If you decide to live off campus their are lots of areas near Pomona like Claremont or San Dimas that would probably be safer. As to whether it’s boring. I don’t know where you live or if you’ve been to CPP but it’s about 30-45 minutes from Los Angeles so you’re not stuck anywhere. </p>
<p>I’m from Norcal and I’m not too familiar with Socal. thanks for the info</p>
<p>do you guys know when we get a reply? I’m a transfer student</p>
<p>@billyishot I’m not too sure. I know that for freshman some hear back as soon as mid-late December and others don’t hear back until late April. I guess it probably depends on the major?</p>
<p>@billyshot, Transfer student here as well. I don’t think we’ll get any correspondence till late Jan/early Feb when they request for our transcripts. </p>
<p>@billyshot, the campus is actually closer to the bedrooms communities of Walnut and Diamond Bar which by most people, are considered “safe” suburban communities with some of the best high schools. The city of Pomona is actually further than these two communities. That being said, the downtown Pomona area is quickly improving and is considered an entertaining district by many with many new music venues and trendy restaurants and coffee shops (if that’s what you’re into). Other nice neighborhoods such as San Dimas and Claremont are a short drive away. Cal Poly Pomona is not a dangerous campus by any means, especially compared to other college campuses. With almost 4,000 beds, It is also has one of the largest residential communities in the CSU. The new Rec Center has added a whole new social layer to the campus. </p>
<p>Also what do people mean by “diverse,” as I keep hearing that word but I don’t think it means what people think it means.</p>
<p>I don’t even have a good chance of getting in. Don’t know if its a good thing or not since this is a commuter school.</p>
<p>It sounds like you’re extremely worried about minorities and “ghetto-ness” … I think it’s important to know that the majority of CSU schools are all very “diverse,” as in there is a significant amount of minority students (AKA not white). If you have a problem with this, I’d advise that you not attend a CSU school… or any public institution in California, for that matter. You can also look up the demographics of each school by Googling it, to see if the way people define “diverse” is what you’re thinking of. Last time I checked, CPP’s ethnic make-up was almost equal parts white, Latino, and Asian.</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind the majority of public universities aren’t exactly located in the most upscale neighborhoods (and a lot of private universities as well), but I don’t see why that would matter unless you’re a stuck up princess who lives in a bubble of self-entitlement… and just because the school is located in a lower-middle income neighborhood, it doesn’t make it ghetto.</p>
