[quote=Anonymous]* It is definitely specialized towards politics, government, international relations, finance, and economics. That's what the majority of students major in and what their (excellent) career resources, research institutes, and funding programs emphasize.

* The alumni network is strong, but mostly centered in California. It's possible to work in other regions, but it requires more networking.

* Students do have a work-hard play-hard attitude; alcohol and partying is pretty prominent compared to the other Claremonts and most LACs. That said, it still is a rigorous T10 LAC. And if you don't fit that personality, that's okay. There are plenty of students who don't. You have the other Claremonts to find like-minded students as well.

* It is not a SJW campus. It actually stands out among the 5Cs for being the least liberal, though it's not conservative either. I'd say it's more politically balanced- there are a healthy amount of liberals, moderates, and conservatives on campus. SJW culture does make it way through largely from the other (very liberal) campuses, but I've found CMC on a whole engages with that constructively.

* With a car, venturing out to explore Southern California for internships and entertainment is definitely feasible. Without one, things are harder. Public transportation exists, but it isn't great. The 5Cs have a pretty solid social life and range of events, so there can definitely be a "bubble" making it unnecessary to leave.

It is a great school for the right student.[/quote]
