<p>@nemom – my daughter experienced the “travel delay” immediately after her admitted student program at Maine college. She was to fly out on a monday night at 6pm and the plane arrived late to the Portland Airport, so by the time she got to Newark she missed the connecting flight. She’s only 17 and couldn’t stay or check in to a hotel by herself, so we were faced w/her staying all night in the airport or fortunately I called up some old friends in NYC, my D took a cab and arrived into NYC alone staying w/friends of mine she had never met - it was her first time to NYC ever. But she got a cab out the next a.m. and back to airport and made it home…so yep I see that as possible down the line but it didn’t deter my D at all (we discussed it, seeing that going non stop to LAX is easY)</p>
<p>do you know if students are allowed to take seminars, particularly first year seminars at Pomona? I email admissions and asked but haven’t heard back. Admissions, by the way, has been fabulous, personal, and exceeded my expectations except for not responding to that email. I guess I’ll call tomorrow and ask someone.</p>
<p>private message me if you want, but where are you from?</p>
