Male. Govt/history/politics/IR-related. In-state VA. Doesn't qualify for any aid.  Willing to pay if a distinct advantage over other options.[/quote]

UVA. [/quote]

My kid is finishing up a foreign affairs/history double major at UVA and I went to Pomona. Both are amazing in these subject areas. Truly. Entirely different experiences. UVA’s strengths are in these areas, whereas Pomona is a STEM powerhouse (which most people don’t understand). UVA has a stronger party school vibe, Greek system, and a football team. lol. Pomona has a bunch of brilliant and hard-working kids in a small space. Overall, feels more intense and does not have the same preppy feel as UVA. And it’s in California with better weather. BUT UVA’s multiple centers (Center for Politics, Miller Center, and one other I’ve forgotten) are not matched at Pomona. One thing to remember about Pomona is that you also can take classes at Claremont McKenna, also known for its outstanding IR/politics courses. But UVA is way less expensive in state (not so for us OOS). [/quote]
