[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is the best fit for a straight male (non-recruited athlete) who is social (would do Greek life if offered elsewhere). 
Work hard, play hard attitude.
Environmental sciences or studies /Econ majors. Maybe history or Am Studies type minor….interested in sciences & humanities.

Obviously, this would be a dream to have this choice, but thinking ahead for my junior….

Looking for some sort of quick distinction between the three.

Planning to visit all next year.

I have a kid at Pomona studying Environmental Analysis and PPE. There are plenty of science and humanities courses offered by the 5C. Unlike any other elite LAC there are many low income first generation kids. Diversity is obvious among students and staff. There isn’t a athletes -nonathletes divide. Mine doesn’t play varsity but has many friends who do. Many parties across the 5C and my kid made friends in every college. Course rigor is real. The vibe is definitely study hard play hard. Last but not least you can’t beat SCal weather. My kid said “there is no reason to be not happy” at Pomona. [/quote]

I am a Claremont Consortium grad and I agree with this.  It's an amazing place full of amazing people and there is something for everyone despite it being small.  I'd 100% pick Pomona. [/quote]
