<p>How often do students go into LA, and how easy is it to do so? Is it a popular weekend activity, or is it usually just if there's something specific (concert, etc.) to do?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>It seems so far only really if there is a specific event to go to because it can take some time to get down there and back on the metrolink.</p>
<p>It really depends on the person’s interests and whether they (or a close friend has a car). Metrolink is often convenient if you’re going in for a “day trip”, but if you’re going in for a concert or event then sometimes the times don’t match up so well. It also doesn’t run all that late at night.</p>
<p>I went in to LA maybe once or twice in my first two years but I had some friends who went in nearly every weekend. After spending a summer here, I’ve learned to like LA a lot and I go in much more often. I also have a car now, which makes a HUGE difference. </p>
<p>So in general… it’s popular with some and not with others. There’s always so much going on on campus that I often just don’t want to miss anything by going there!</p>
<p>This may seem silly but I’ll ask anyway… some people have been telling me that Pomona is a wonderful school but that the air can be really smoggy in some months. Is it really noticeable? Does that ever interfere with athletics? Thanks for any help with the question!</p>
<p>I don’t notice anything right now.</p>
<p>The only time the air quality was bad was the first two weeks, when the nearby wildfires were polluting the air (and athletics were canceled during that time).</p>
