I went to a high school with 400 people, so Pomona’s size isn’t really an issue for me socially. If you try, it’s not hard to get friends at the other schools and go to parties at the other schools. There’s always things going on campus, especially if you add 5-C events. It’s obviously a lot, lot smaller than any UC. The social scene is different. Personally, I wouldn’t like the size of UCLA or Berk, particularly because of class sizes. Pomona’s academic advantage over any UC is the small classes.

I wouldn’t say that Pomona has a lack of proximity to a city. LA is manageable with a car, depending on traffic. I have a car, so I go into LA more than most people. You can rent zip cars for pretty cheap too. Like I said, there’s always events going on. Academics are a lot of work too. I’m never bored, and there’s always things to do, if that’s what you’re asking.
