 No
college experience can match living on campus at Pomona.
The scale of the residence halls encourages students to get
to know one another.
Pomona's 12 residence halls average about 120 students each.
That's large enough to bring together students with a variety of interests and
experiences, but small enough to allow residents to work as a cohesive group. All
residence halls are coed, and two-thirds of the rooms are single-occupancy.
A meal plan is part of the package, and students have varied
dining options both at Pomona and on the neighboring
campuses of the Claremont Colleges.
Pomona guarantees on-campus housing to each enrolling
student, and more than 95 percent students live in
campus residences. While first-year students are required to
live on campus, sophomores, juniors, and seniors also live
in the residence halls, offering many opportunities for
interaction.
 Newcomers to the residence halls get plenty of support. They
are matched with "sponsor groups" of 12 to 20 other
classmates who live next door to one another. Each group has
one male and one female sophomore or junior "sponsor" who
live nearby and serve as informal organizers, guides and
advisers.
Resident advisers, usually seniors, live in residence halls
and serve as a resource for their residents,
addressing emergencies, enforcing policies and coordinating
activities. Those activities range from Krispy Kreme study breaks
to late-night movies to barbecues where hall residents can
get to know each other.
First-year students are assigned rooms. In the years that
follow they participate in the process of
Room Draw, which is
designed to give students a chance to choose their room and
whom -- if anyone -- they will room with.
