[quote=Anonymous]DC is two years into Pomona with some financial aid (100% needs based FA is available for all). Got into OXY too with merit aid. When choosing and looking at what was offered to DC at Pomona as compared to OXY, the former has an abundance of resources in all ways. OXY does not and it felt on tour that they were "stretching it" a bit in terms of what they offered (academics, facilities, etc.). One huge difference that impacts academics, the feeling of freedom to choose, social life, is that having the 5 colleges together is real. OXY felt very small by comparison. I don't think there's much to choose from between Claremont and Eagle Rock in terms of "great" location. I might be wrong. What I do know is that DC took their car down to Pomona at the beginning of Sophomore year and is always heading to the hills or to LA/beach from Pomona. (To the post saying "no ACs" my DC has had both AC and no AC dorms. It definitely got hot for a couple of months without AC but the dorm building itself had AC in common areas and there were a couple of times some slept there).[/quote]
