[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are both strong schools, but Pomona probably is more appealing. It has a reputation of being excellent for academics but also a supportive environment for undergrads.  Johns Hopkins is a little more oriented to graduate programs, professional programs--even though it is an amazing university all around.   [b]Pomona also has better weather [/b]and the vibe of the colleges in that area are great.  [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]I'd pick Pomona for the [b]better weather,[/b] reputation, location, fellow schools, happier students and overall feel.[/quote]

I went to Harvey Mudd for undergrad and I disagree about the weather. This is only true in the sense that "it doesn't snow". The Claremont Colleges are in a horribly smoggy area. You're right near the freeway and it's basically like sucking on an exhaust pipe 365 days of the year. You are nowhere near the beach and you don't get any kind of ocean breeze.

That aside, Claremont Colleges have a more suburban feel versus the urban feel of Hopkins.[/quote]

I frequent Claremont often and I've never seen any smog these days[/quote]

Wasn't is Claremont McKenna that was caught cheating the USNews ranking game by fudging the stats? Figures. These people seem to have no morals.

Your use of the word “often” is superfluous.[/quote][/quote]
