Welcome to the Cal Poly board Yarik. The study abroad will be an unforgettable experience for you and hope you will enjoy fully.

Yarik I hope you enjoy your year at Pomona. Pomona runs by a quarter system which is about 10 weeks. So I beleive the quarter system is the reason why the fall quarter start in late September and end in early December. Then we have a break for the rest of December, and we start the Winter quarter the day after New Years which sucks. Finally the Spring Quarter starts around the Middle of March and ends the 2nd week of June.
