Student Life
Campus life
Ninety-four percent of our students live on campus all four years, and many professors live within five miles of campus. This creates a close-knit community where new collaborations or eye-opening discussions can spring up anywhere – a dorm, club meeting, or at lunch with a professor.
Pomona will be your home for four years – that’s four years of forging connections, making lifelong friends, and learning and discovering new passions.
