[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even as a consortium, the Claremont schools were too small for my student to consider. The Amherst area has thousands more college students.[/quote] In my experience, Amherst and UMass students barely interact or acknowledge one another. Amherst students tend to be snobby and insular about using the consortium. I can't find any numbers but I'd doubt that more than 25% of Amherst students ever take a class at the other schools. The Claremont consortium is considerably more integrated. The percent of Pomona students cross-enrolling is in the 80% range by graduation. Dining halls are open to all even if you don't cross-enroll. Most organizations are multi-college or 5 College. The furthest distance walking from one campus to the other is 20 minutes. The walk from the bottom part of UMass to the top part of Amherst C, the closest of the schools, is 30 minutes. [/quote]
