Themed Communities

University Housing Services offers themed communities to residents. In these communities, residents enjoy events, programs, and more while living on campus.

What is a Themed Community

There is a College Themed Community for each of the colleges at Cal Poly Pomona, as well as communities for undeclared students and Kellogg Honors students. Programming and events are centered around community building, first-year success, and connecting to your college’s faculty and staff.

First-Year Communities

A first-year living community is a student housing program designed for incoming college students. The goal of the program is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where students can transition smoothly into college life. The benefits of living in a first-year community include opportunities to meet and make new friends, engage in social and educational programs, and receive academic and personal support from staff and peers. It is a great way for students to get involved in campus life and build a strong foundation for their college experience.
