[quote=Anonymous]Williams: The quintessential New England college.  The most beautiful location.  The campus oozes class.  Preppy, relatively conservative students, many hoping to make a fortune in finance.  Williams has been the US News champ for 20 years!  What else needs to be said?  Tied with Amherst for the most prestige.

Amherst: The college for progressive kids.  Forward-thinking emphasis on student diversity and open curriculum.  Highly intelligent students, many championing DEI causes.  Great college town location.  Good consortium with four other schools.  Right on Williams's heels in US News.  Tied for the most prestige.

Swarthmore: The college for intellectual kids.  Difficult classes with heavy work loads.  Students very liberal but too busy with coursework to do much politically.  The best STEM in WASP.  They have engineering!  Maybe the hardest-working students, but prestige somewhat less than Williams or Amherst.  Are the students considered too nerdy?

Pomona: The California lifestyle college.  Students most similar to those at Swarthmore, but a bit less intense.  Very casual environment, shorts worn year-round.  Great consortium with Claremont.  The hardest of WASP to get into because everyone wants that weather!  But also the least prestige.  How can we take them seriously with all that SoCal sunshine?

Those are my thoughts on these great schools.  Please add your thoughts![/quote]
