We visited Pomona a few weeks ago. It was like visiting a resort. What a beautiful campus! Bring a book and sit by one of the fountains. If your student wants to sit in on a class, just stop by the admissions office and they will give you a list to choose from (try to avoid Fridays, there aren’t as many classes offered). If possible, visit the Skyscape outdoor art/light installation during sunrise or sunset. Take the campus tour, but also try to grab a Pomona student who doen’s look too busy and ask them about their experience. Everyone there was very friendly.

We stayed at the Doubletree on Foothill Blvd. Nothing fancy, but reasonable rates, clean and very close to campus. I’ve also heard good things about Casa425 HotelMake sure you walk around Claremont Village-lots of unique shops and restaurants.
