I'm considering applying to Cal Poly Pomona but I'm not too familiar with its location. Where exactly is it situated?
Cal Poly Pomona is located in Pomona, California, which is in the southwest region of San Bernardino County. Positioned between the Inland Empire and the San Gabriel Valley, it's also quite near to Los Angeles County. Specifically, it's approximately 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, making it conveniently placed for access to a large urban center while still keeping a more tranquil, campus feel. Please note, though, that traffic in Southern California can be unpredictable, so travel times will vary. It has the virtue of being relatively close to both mountains and beaches, opening up a range of outdoor activities.
