r/pomonacollege

hai guys i currently have pomona college ranked on my questbridge list because my mom really hopes for me to stay close to home (socal). im not sure if i would be 100% willing to attend though, because questbridge is binding. with that said, i have some concerns/questions i hope you guys can answer for me!

1. my biggest concern is that the school is so small. ive absolutely hated high school because of the small size (roughly 1000 students). is the small college experience different from hs?
2. hows the food? i am a huuuge on food so if the dining hall meals are bad then thats a no bueno...
3. i'd really hope for a single during my freshman yr (i'm trying to get a doctors note for it). are the dorms nice? how possible is it for me to get a single my freshman year? also ive heard theres no AC in some of the rooms so that worries me..
4. pomona is a little further from downtown and 626. are there still fun things to do around? if so, what?
5. if there are any other cons, please let me know!

edit: pls be nice im genuinely wondering!

Hi guys,

I was wondering what the black community looks like at Pomona. If possible, can anyone let me know about Muslims at the school and Somalis?

Any info on this would be appreciated thank you!
