1. Do most people drive their car, if so, where do you park? Is there really a shuttle? How early should I be at school to look for parking? (ok, sorry, that's a lot of questions related to one topic though!)
I drive and I usually park in the F parking lot. If you arrive before 8a.m., you should have no problem. For the first two weeks of every new quarter, you might end up parking far away from campus. But then, you can always catch the shuttle if you are willing to wait.

2. Where does everyone live? I'm looking for an apartment off-campus.
I will be moving in with my friends beginning spring quarter. The apartment complexes can be found when you drive up in Temple Ave.

3. Why would you recommend Cal Poly Pomona to me?
What other schools did you get accepted to? We can give you a better response. Otherwise, Cal Poly Pomona is a great school.

4. Are there a lot of parties?
Depends where you look and who you hang around with.

5. Is it true Pomona is not safe?
I consider the campus very safe.
THANK YOU EVERYONE for the welcomes and responses! I really appreciate it! I'm from the San Francisco area; therefore I think LA is going to be a big adjustment for me, yet I'm excited for the change!

I'M A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR!!!! Whoo-hoo! It's nice to know there are other Psych. majors. I was beginning to think that there weren't that many since Pomona seems like it has a lot of engineering and architecture majors. I will definitely look into the club that was mentioned. Thanks!

I got into SFSU, and CSUN so far. I also applied to Fullerton, SDSU, and CSULB. However, I know for sure that I won't be going to CSULB because their Psych. major is impacted.

I'm looking into an apartment with a student I met through roommates.com. She goes to Univ. of La Verne. We're looking at El Sereno Apts because it got good reviews on ApartmentRatings.com . Anyone heard of El Sereno or can recommend any other complexes that are safe and a lot of students live in. Also, anyone know much about Zeta Phi Rho Fraternity or Alpha Phi Gamma Sorority?

I’m so happy I found this site!
