Think about it, if you screw up in college, you have just lost $20,000 and let us face it, you most likely asked for financial aid to help pay for it so now you are in debt too. Out $43,592. Going to college is a great thing, but it is just as bad if you do not take it seriously. Cal Poly Pomona, like in the name, is located in the beautiful city of Pomona, California It is a public Cal State University meaning you would have to complete your CSU requirement (conveniently located on the back of your Chaffey High I.Ds There's an arcade -.- The More you know That's a lot of money... how can I possibly pay for that? Looks can be deceiving. What do they offer? Still not interested Lol, have you heard of this college called Cal Poly Pomona? I hear it's an okay school. I might go, but I'm not sure... there's lots of other colleges that seem cooler and stuffs Hey... my dad just said that Cal Poly is awesome and I should totally go so guess we stay Buzzums, eh? Heh heh... and no... it's not because of the arcade!! Before we worry about sending in our application and whatnot, it's best to know if they'll even consider us. So what are the pre-requisites? Percent of freshmen who live in school housing: 52% Percent of students who live in school housing: 12% Percent of students who live off campus: 88% Students required to live on campus: Some freshmen are required to live on campus their first year.

I know what you are thinking "Who does this guy think he is saying all these fancy words that most of us do not know expecting us to be all understanding and shiz" Well, no need to rage for colleges will be looking for students with a large vocabulary. For example, "also like when" sounds better when you say "As well as when" So keep that in mind when writing your essays Why should I Consider Cal Poly Pomona? Best Pal <3 Fine, whatever but listen to me bro... the campus is just gorgeous and there is always something to do like hiking, dining, hanging out with friends, seriously, we can do whatever! There's things like the Village in which veterans of the school can live in and the rose garden! Come on, man! What's not to love? Let's start off with the location. It's in Pomona so you obviously wouldn't be too far from home and visiting (a.k.a asking parents for money) would be quick and easy The campus is gorgeous and huge! It would be best to bring a bike to fully enjoy the experience, although having a nice stroll and taking in the scenery doesn't seem so bad either. So how much would this cost?
