[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family member went to Claremont McKenna and did not love it. [/quote]

Could you share the reason?  DC is interested but has a few concerns, maybe they are the same ones your family member didn't enjoy?[/quote]

I don’t know the PP’s answer, but I’ll just point out that Claremont McKenna is really small, like 1200 students. Great fos some, but it’s not for everyone.[/quote]

It's in a larger setting with over 8000 students. Not your usual small school[/quote]

I understand, but I’ve talked with kids who’ve gone there. It’s still small for roommates, casual connections in dining halls, clubs, people you meet in class, etc. Personally I love the concept, but I’ve talked with kids who’ve gone ther and for whom it’s been a tough adjustment. That’s just what they tell me. Great for some. It’s just not for everyone.[/quote]

But do you hear the same for other 5C schools, like Pomona?  Trying to understand whether CMC is particularly tough for some to adjust to or whether that's a blanket statement for 5Cs.[/quote]

CMC is more homogenous than Pomona so that can make it feel smaller.  CMC kids also tend to stick to CMC because they trend more conservative than students at the other schools--again, making it feel smaller.   Just an observation as an alumni from one of the colleges. [/quote]
