My D is a freshman at Pomona. My impression is the same as that of the two students above. It is the most diverse of all of the elite liberal arts schools. My daughter is a well off (economically) URM. Her friends at Pomona are primarily the kids from her dorm hallway, although she has made friends with some kids from the other 5C’s. She is bringing home a foreign student on spring break. She has found the environment to be cooperative, fun, but intense. She says the only issue is that there are almost no conservative kids on campus, so discussion and debate is not as broad as she would like. She is pretty liberal, but recognizes that the exchange of ideas on campus is important.
