I can't believe how negative people are about this campus. They expect everything to be handed to them like in high school. There is an incredible amount of facilities available and they are all very accessible because no one seems to use them. People complain about not being able to get classes. I can see this as an issue, but it is one that I have hardly experienced. I only had one quarter with this problem and it was because I forgot to register during my appointment. GEs are easy to get. I don't know about business students and engineering students. Also, students complain about professors not speaking english well. I have had four professors with English as a second language. One was for French class, one for German, one for STATs and one for History. The history professor was fantastic, he just had a bit of a french accent and was hilarious. Then my SATs professor was a native chinese speaker but I had no problem understanding him. If you can't understand your professor, sit closer to the front, record the lectures, or go to their office hours. Also, every professor is required to have office hours. If they are not present, it is your job to inform the dean. If they don't satisfy your need, set up an appointment. It is absolutely pathetic that students are incapable of realizing how many solutions their are to their "issues." From what I have learned of friends schools, the work I do at Cal Poly is usually more advanced than that of my peers in my field. When I tell my friends that I'm writing an average of ten 12+ page papers a year they are shocked and say they have written maybe 4 total. And when I tell them that I have classes that require multi media projects they are surprised that we have access to facilities of that type. The only thing this school is missing is higher paid faculty, a rec center, more classes (for the majors that need them) and some more prestige.

World class programs all over campus, engineering, computer forensics, hospitality management, architecture, entertainment marketing, agribusiness, supply chain management....you name it! Even in a down economic cycle Cal Poly Pomona has surged ahead with top notch teachers and deans from the best universities in the nation. And you do real world projects in the nation's second largest city that will get you cutting edge jobs. Boeing for example hired almost half of one program's graduating class en masse this year. The campus is over the top beautiful with a working horse ranch and farm part of the mix...simply incredible!

Started out in the mechanical engineering department at cal poly. I was constantly seeking help, as I was studying 10-12 hours a day, with meager results. Everywhere I looked I was hitting a dead end of unhelpful professors (except a few like shelton and biddle) I left after my advisor told me I was nothing but a 'fuck up who will never make it'.

Taking his bad advice, I went to the food marketing and agribusiness management department. I learned what I wanted, and the program was about learning. The faculty were extremely helpful, and would do anything for the student. It was the only time I ever felt like I had teachers working for me. I got my moneys worth out of that education.

this place went through a funk under bad leadership but is coming back. there is a growing sense of excitement on the campus again that has re-energized the campus community. and cal poly business is about ready to move into a new building too.
