Pomona Family Weekend 2016

Pomona had their 2016 Family Weekend and I was fortunate to attend. Had a great time attending various seminars, events, receptions and meeting fellow proud Sagehen parents. Oh, I shameless bought multiple Pomona Dad T-shirts!!

The best part is sharing meals at Frary dining hall. I was surprised to see the excessive number of athletes who happens to be academic superstars. They were coming back from tennis practices and other practices. I don’t remember college food being that good, LOL. I took in a tennis match and just spent countless hours walking around the campus. I am jealous I never had a chance to experience attending a liberal arts college and at such a beautiful location like at Pomona college. I am grateful my own is enjoying college and making good friends.

We’ve attended every single Family Weekend when my D was attending Pomona. Both my H and I enjoyed it immensely. My H even went to D’s friends classes when our D had no classes on Friday. We really enjoyed meeting our D’s friends and took them out to dinner when their parents weren’t able to attend because of distance.
It’s not just for Freshman parents.

This year’s was our last, and it was pretty amazing. We briefly kidded about looking for a freshman to adopt so that we could keep coming back, but well, there is that tuition thing…

Glad to hear your report. We weren’t able to make it but our freshman D went out for dinner twice with friends’ parents. Hopefully we can make it next year.
