Please clarify whether it's your kid or your kid's friends who are going to Claremont schools.  It seems very odd that your kid would "love" USC but pick a Claremont college.[/quote]

What a strange post.[/quote]

Not strange at all -there are wildly different  schools.[/quote]

Therefore an individual must love only one or the other? Not so.[/quote]

Well, it shows that the applicant hasn’t figured out the size of the school they want or the experience.USC has 60k students jn a very urban area west of LA proper. Lots of partying. Big football team. Enormous sorority scene. I lived in a rented room in one of the houses while teaching there. Many of the students are there for the social experience, not studies. The students wear their affluence on their sleeves. It is called University of Spoiled Children for a reason. There is IMHO too much emphasis on looks at USC

CMC is the opposite. Only 1300 students in a bucolic patch out in Riverside. Students are very serious about their work. Nerdy and pointy. Same with Pomona with 1700 students. No Greek scene. No big time football. No rah rah.[/quote]
