| Like they said, different UC and CSU campuses are all different. You'd get different responses just comparing two UC schools or two CSU schools... even just comparing the two Cal Poly campuses would yield different results.
But anyway, I lived in a dorm for 2 years at UC Santa Cruz. Absolutely loved it! It was one of the newer dorms so the facilities were nice and new. While there I visited some friends in the older dorms, the floors were creaky and I didn't like it as much. Same thing at CPP. So if you have a choice, see if you can get into a newer building.
The city of Pomona itself has a bad rep, but the campus is on the outskirts of town, bordering some very nice towns. You have to go out of your way off campus to find some bad elements of the inner city.
Campus life at CPP is less party-oriented than other campuses. There is a large commuter population and the students in general are more focused on their studies than some of the other campuses. I liked it because it meant relative quiet most of the time. If you're a party animal and seeking the stereotyped collegiate life, then this campus may not be for you.
Considering how much of an investment college is in your life, I suggest that the most important thing is how good the school is in your area of study. If a school is well known for their L.A. program over all other campuses, you'll want to weigh that more heavily than the other factors.
And if it's asian girls you like, there are plenty of them, especially in the Hotel & Restaurant Management major. |
