does anyone here go or knows someone who went to Pomona College or Claremont Mckenna College in california? know anything about them? i know they arent as popular as the UCs in california but im really interested.

[i'm lagging yo]

the group of claremont colleges are definately great schools... UC's are just research institutions so they're different. Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Scripps... all good schools. go check em out if you're seriously considering them.

No De Anza is the best CC in Cali.

^ who cares. we're not talking about cc

the claremont colleges are good schools that are locally known. harvey mudd is a great engineering school. it's a nice school, but its in the middle of no where and the people are kind of weird.

[koneee]

yEEEHHH DE ANZA! I know someone who goes to pomona but that's all I know

[muahgee]

heard they were good schools.. few friends older siblings went there.. academically challenging but they had problems with finding jobs... cause only few people have heard of the claremont colleges... asian people... 'you went to ucla? cal? oo good schools pomona? wth is taht? '

^ i got that reaction from a few of my mom's friends o.O scary.

If you want connections and an academically challenging school, there is no place better than ucla.

yeah... pomona's really well known for being a great liberal arts school.
it's almost on par w/ Amherst and Williams. i know someone who got into pomona, it was his first choice school & he loves it~

[nonwinky]

aw, pomona was my dream school, but i didnt get in lol =P
pomona and mckenna are both really good schools... mckenna is very politically active and like someone mentioned earlier, pomona is well known among liberal arts colleges. I think it's like... 3rd best? 4th best? something like that. I have a friend attending pomona and one attending mckenna... and my older brother is a harvey mudd graduate. i think pomona and mckenna both look for more than jus academic things. but anyways, if you live in California, you should definitely visit, it helps you learn a lot about the school. and you'll be able to tell if you can stand living in the middle of nowhere lol

They're all good schools

I had originally wanted to go to the Claremont colleges...
I've researched them in high school, they are pretty expensive I think but I think the education is worth it.
I think they are really neat and clean. I havent visit the campus yet but... I was so close to going there.
Decent school.

[kOoHII]

i go to the claremont colleges!! (not pomona or cmc...although cmc was my dream school)

gosh i know so much about the two still (obviously). uhh...hmm...what would you like to know specifically?
