Really great architecture program!
Class registration and schedules are a bit difficult, lots of people I know deal with waitlists. Advisors don’t seem to be much help.
Commuter campus so the dorms aren’t super full of life.
I’ve had great experiences with all the professors I’ve encountered so far, all have been very supportive!
Would 100% recommend CPP to anyone looking tinto it! Beautiful campus with lots of nature and animals throughout to visit :)

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.
