As a freshman and taking all my courses online, I would say that my experience with Cal Poly has been great! Professors and Advisors prioritize students to be comfortable and informed about their courses, club/programs, and campus activities. Although I haven’t been at campus, I feel very informed about the campus and courses that I’m taking and whatever questions/concerns that I have I know that I can reach out for aid.
My overall experience at Cal Poly Pomona has been great! It has a highly ranked cybersecurity degree. The amount of time and effort that I see students put towards their professional and sport clubs is unprecedented from other universities that I visit. Whether it be placing top 10 in the world among universities for pen testing and CTF.
The top programs here at Cal Poly Pomona are computer information systems, industrial engineering, landscapes architecture, hospitality and many more. There are unlimited internship opportunities being in the Greater Los Angeles area with many firms recruiting CPP students even within their freshman year. It really is what you make of it here, I highly recommend to get involved to make your college experience worth it. In the end when you graduate, it is all about who you know and that statement stands with the connections that I have made at Cal Poly among alumni and others.

I am very excited to start my second year at CPP and I loved my first year there! As an Asian-American coming from Boston, Massacusetts, CPP felt like a much more diverse and welcoming community. Around campus, you see diversity in everything from ethnicities to food, architecture, and activities. I lived in the Estrellas suites my first year, and I loved it. I had my own room, three great roommates, and was able to enjoy the luxury of living on-campus. The staff and faculty are very welcoming and nice. There are plenty of clubs and opportunities to meet people and find social groups. At this school, I feel motivated both professionally and creatively. I found my emphasis I want to pursue in my major, and I have access to great creative outlets such as dancing and cultural events. Highly recommend! Great place to learn about your future profession while building experience and learning about yourself!
