<p>My personal experience about the location (I go to Pomona). The smog issue is blown out of porportion; there are a couple of days (just a couple) where the mountains are made invisible by the smog, but it doesn’t come over to campus due to the high number of trees and the shielding effect of mountains on three sides. The smog issue is more present during the summer, when you won’t be here.</p>
