| Kenyon has a developing CS program (new strategic priority), great creative writing, and mild Greek culture |

| Harvey Mudd. Take the creative writing at any of the other Claremont colleges. Can’t really do better than them. |

| Harvey Mudd, Pomona, Carleton, Grinnell, Williams, Amherst and Hamilton |

Be careful with Pomona, massive amount of CS waitlists. Carleton has a “match system” so you might not get what you want. |

| CS at Swarthmore is good. Most CS classes are lotteried, but good chances of getting it and if not, put on priority for the next semester. |

Who wants to go to grad school for CS? CS professors are WAY underpaid and the good tech work is done in private industry |
