<p>Pomona may feel “dead” to an outsider, but a current student like myself can speak for the opportunities and events that happen on campus. The campus is quite large (like 3-4x bigger than Columbia) but with 10x less students. Of course it’s going to “appear” quiet and peaceful and like a ghost town at times. But more than a 1000 events are sponsored each year and across all the 5 colleges there’s so much going on. Most things also happen at night- when prospective students and their parents wouldn’t see it.</p>
<p>The weather is great and as is the atmosphere but if those things are the first questions to pop in your head I’m not sure you’re asking the right questions. Ultimately, people go to Pomona for an elite education with other bright minds, unparalleled resources, and a tight-knit and nurturing residential life. If there’s something in particular you want to know, I can do my best to let you know. </p>
