Swarthmore versus Pomona ED2

Wtf goes to either of these schools to go ... backpacking? Do that over the summers.

ED2 to Bucknell instead. You'll get an awesome experience and they have an insane pipeline to unlimited jobs on the street. Bucknell alums are the best!

Put 2 kids through college- 1 an LAC, 1 an Ivy. What in the world is Bucknell?

Of the two, I would lean Pomona. If a LAC and backpacking are high priorities, what about adding Colorado College to the list? Block breaks would allow for regular multi-day trips. (I know nothing about their math program, though)

Doing math courses in 4 weeks sounds hellish. Also super wealthy and non-diverse college op!

Never understood if the Claremont colleges were 1 university or not. It always feels segmented when it doesn’t need to be.

For real? If so, you must find virtually everything hard to understand.

Here you go:

The consortium was founded in 1925 by Pomona College president James A. Blaisdell, who proposed a collegiate university design inspired by Oxford University. He sought to provide the specialization, flexibility, and personal attention commonly found in small colleges, but with the resources of a large university.

Agree. Williams grad who is not outdoorsy and had friends who took full
Advantage of the hikes and other activities organized by the Outing Club. Yes, Williams is remote but that can also mean being close to areas that offer outdoor activities such as skiiing, hiking, etc.
