[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst and Claremont are both suburban towns though.[/quote]

But the climate, their campuses, and their proximity to their respective consortium schools couldn't be more different.

And being a close suburb to LA vs a far suburb to NY/Boston (or a suburb to New Haven/Hartford) is also a huge difference.

For some, these differences aren't a huge deal and one just chooses the orange over the apple (for some other reason that matters to them) if they have a choice between the two. But for others these differences are key. [/quote]

Claremont is not a close suburb of Los Angeles.[/quote]

That was in context - if is far closer to LA than Amherst is to anything comparable to LA (it's even closer than Amherst is to Hartford!)/[/quote]

SoCal is sprawling and huge. Claremont is in a 10 mile circle to almost a million people, and even then you're still 20 miles away from Los Angeles. [/quote]

I don't understand what point you are trying to make? Pomona is 35 miles from downtown LA.  Amherst is 25 miles from downtown Springfield.  These are very different.

And as you note, even being 35 miles from downtown, the population density and how far it extends is much higher in the LA region.  [/quote]
