<p>What? Cal Poly Pomona is not only… Pomona!. The school is also surrounded by affluent areas like Phillips Ranch, Diamond Bar, Chino Hills, and Walnut. It has beautiful weather year-round and, according to College *******, has a higher safety & security rating than Cal Poly-SLO. Actually, Cal Poly Pomona is 4 miles away from downtown Pomona… almost the same distance (4.5 mi) than the Claremont Colleges! All the geographical advantages of the Claremont Colleges (short drive to the mountains, to the beach and to downtown Los Angeles) apply to Cal Poly Pomona. Our professors are awesome too! I’m currently taking partial differential equations with a professor who has worked at JPL and teaches the exact same class at Caltech. For this year’s midterm, he gave the same quiz to both classes and the average for the Caltech midterm: 88%, Cal Poly Pomona: 81%! Case in point, look at this gentleman’s curriculum vitae:</p>

<p>His Caltech M.S. and Ph.D GPA average 3.90
His Cal Poly Pomona B.S. GPA average 3.92</p>
<p>There’s a great deal of ignorant misconceptions about CPP that need to be addressed.</p>
