Cal Poly Pomona Freshman Dorms Ranked

Number 4

"The Encinitas hall had every basic necessity on the first floor such as a laundry room, kitchen, and study room. However, the building itself is very outdated because it's made of bricks. Encinitas itself is nothing special, but it got the job done. I fortunately got a double, and it was enough space for two people but it is doomed if you get a triple." - 3 years ago

Number 3

"Secoya is a newly built dorm to live in as it is primarily designed to be one out of the two dorm buildings in the area for incoming freshman. The amenities include a communal kitchen on the ground floor with a laundry area. Included within each floor are two lounges and two study rooms. They are plenty of places for you to meet new people and hang out. Definitely one of the better dorms on campus." - 2 years ago

Number 2

"A double room was nice, decent furniture considering it's an older dorm. Location was good, roughly centered between the other dorms and not too far from the Dining Commons. Hall walls are painted concrete block, as are the room walls, and some are exposed red brick. Decent place to live while going to school; I was there for 3 years before moving to the University Village apartments. Making friends there was easy and probably the best part of being in school. AC wasn't the best but it usually worked. Will largely depend on the maintenance leadership and whether they get needed funds to keep things clean and running. Bathrooms were functional but often dirty, usually the student's fault as the maintenance staff tried to keep up. I'd definitely avoid a triple room in the older Residence Halls if you can help it. There is, of course, a lot of political silliness propaganda that the Housing leadership disseminates, but that's everywhere in college currently. " - 2 years ago

Number 1

"This place is a house, not a home. Everything from the lack of elevators to the plethora of unidentifiable spiders emphasizes the presumption that the building itself is out to get us. We lowly engineer and architecture majors are huddled up in the highest floor in the furthest building on campus.

There is one water fountain and it's on the first floor." - 1 year ago
