Pomona students have full lives outside the classroom.
They are violinists, long-distance runners, environmental
activists, short-story writers, computer whizzes and small
business leaders. Even with rigorous academics, they find
plentiful opportunities for personal growth, leadership
development and recreation.
There’s a strong sense of community, with more than 95
percent of students
living on campus. The residential nature
of Pomona’s campus allows students to share their talents,
develop new ones and benefit from the diverse social and
intellectual backgrounds of their classmates and faculty.
One of the top gathering spots is the
Smith Campus Center
(shown above),
home to two restaurants, a student store, recreation room
and state-of-the-art meeting spaces. It’s common to see
students eating lunch with their professors at the Sagehen
Café.
 Theatre productions, musical performances and art
exhibitions are plentiful during the school year. Top
scholars and other noteworthy visitors from around the world
are constantly coming to campus to speak to students.
Clubs cover everything from politics to multicultural
interests to religious activities, and new clubs are always
forming.
Athletic teams range from soccer to softball to swimming, and intramural sports offer fun and fitness.
The College is known for its world-class facilities. The
Bridges Hall of Music is one of the West’s most beautiful
concert halls. The Rains Center for Sport and Recreation
includes multiple courts for basketball, volleyball, squash
and racquetball, plus fitness and cardiovascular centers.
There’s a comprehensive theatre complex featuring a 350-seat
auditorium and a 100-seat experimental theatre space.
Students also reap many advantages from the being part of
the
Claremont Colleges, a consortium of five undergraduate
and two graduate institutions. This allows Pomona students
to enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a small college while
still having access to the academic resources and social
opportunities of a larger university.
Just a few blocks from campus is the charming Claremont
Village, full of shops, eateries and coffeehouses. Plus the
campus is within driving distance of Los Angeles’ many
cultural and entertainment venues.
With sunny weather, outdoor adventures are plentiful. Every
spring, students let off steam by hitting both the beach and
the slopes in one day. It’s a fun tradition made possible by
the campus’ have-it-all location in Southern California.
