College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Cal Poly Pomona Students

Read samples from the Cal Poly Pomona guide below:

Academics

“So far, I’ve mostly been doing just my gen eds, and a lot of the teachers don’t really seem to be into it. I’ve had a few that really cared how well you did, though. I think it all depends on if you get lucky.”

Diversity

“It’s pretty diverse. I have been seeing a lot of international students. There’s a good mix of people.”

Guys & Girls

“These past few years, my friends and I have noticed an influx of cute boys, for whatever reason. It really depends on the department you’re in. The animal science department, for example, is 80 percent girls, and most of them are very pretty.”

Athletics

“Our varsity sports system puts a lot of work into advertising to get as much feedback and response as possible, but it doesn’t seem to work. As for intramurals, I hardly ever hear about what’s going on with those.”

The most important thing to be aware of is that Cal Poly is on 10-week quarters. To be considered full-time, you must take at least 12 units, which is typically around three classes. However, most students take 14 units on average. But if it’s your first time attending a school on the quarter system, you should start off with 12 units until you adjust, because 10 weeks fly by! Before you acclimate to your quarter, though, you have to register first. Registration at Cal Poly has gotten easier over the...

Diversity

If the statistics don’t say it clearly enough, CPP represents just about every culture you could possibly think of, and then some. In addition to this, there are many diversity-supporting clubs on campus that represent various ethnicities. Some of the larger ethnic clubs on campus are Barcada (Filipino-American Student Association) and the Latino Business Students Association. And if you like all types of food, these multicultural clubs tend to do a lot of food-driven fundraisers. Sometimes you can smell...

Guys & Girls

If you are looking for a campus full of blonde-haired, blue-eyed guys and girls, you aren’t going to find them here! There’s a great deal of diversity among the guys and girls on campus. This turns out to be great because not everyone has the same ideal person in their minds, as far as looks and personality traits go. No matter what the description of your “perfect” person is, you will probably be able to find someone who comes close to your match! If you want to check out the good-looking crowd, you can...

Athletics

Since CPP doesn’t have much school spirit to begin with, there isn’t much spirit shown at a majority of the sporting events. A lot of people blame the lack of spirit on the lack of a football team. Although CPP is usually noted for its basketball teams (the men’s team has made it to the NCAA playoffs many times and are near the top of their division), many of the other teams are also showing up near the top recently. In the 2005–06 season, the Bronco’s volleyball team started off 19–0 and wound up first in...
