Honestly, I'm slightly confused. What's the official name of Cal Poly Pomona? Is it just 'Cal Poly Pomona', or is there more to it?
The full, official name of the university you're referring to is "California State Polytechnic University, Pomona". However, it's commonly referred to as "Cal Poly Pomona" for short. This is much easier to say and is the term generally used in everyday conversation and even on the university's own website. Note that there's another Cal Poly, "California Polytechnic State University" located in San Luis Obispo, and it's often referred to as "Cal Poly SLO" or just "Cal Poly". So, when referring to either university, it's important to specify which one to avoid any confusion!
