I'm really interested in going to Pomona for college (if I can even get in... I know they're very selective), and I was just wondering if anybody out here went there? Or knows somebody that did? I'm interested in finding out about the vibe of the school and the city, what it took to get in, blah blah... Thanks!

I know a few people who went to Pomona and I've visited the Claremont Colleges a few times. The tour guides and my friends at the school are all really smart people who are good at looking at problems or questions from many different angles. The school isn't huge, but it's big enough to support a healthy infrastructure of classes and activities. Plus, it's part of the Claremont Consortium so you have access to classes and resources on the campuses of the other colleges there too.
There are links on their admissions website to articles in college guides and the US News and World Weekly Report, which should give you a better idea of the facts and figures.
As far as the surrounding city is, it's fantastic. They have a website: http://www.ci.claremont.ca.us/ You are also a short train ride away from Los Angeles (I think it's an hour or two) so you can go into the city for a day or evening, which is great.
If you decide to go there, be prepared to be obsessed with the number 47! (My 7th grade science teacher was a Pomona grad, and I always won the "what number am I thinking of" because it was always 47...) Good luck!
