[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above is true but I'm just going to state Claremont CA- the town itself- feels very different from anything else nearby. It is quintessentially an east coast college town with lush tree lined streets (to the point you can easily pinpoint it on a satellite map relative to surrounding areas) and a quaint village of numerous non-chain eateries and independent stores. Actually walkable and bikeable. Definitely not an authentic representation of what most of Southern California is like. [/quote]

But still surrounded by the Inland Empire, which is just Surburban dredge.[/quote]

They are different but assuming a kid knows what they like, any time spent off campus has good options in both locations. A kid going to Pomona isn't going to be looking to hang out in the suburb next door - they may be interested in San Gabriel Mtns nearby and the many other natural beauties in CA.  A kid going to Amherst isn't going to be looking to hang out in Springfield or a farm next to campus either.

The whole point those of us have been making on location is that someone who CARES about the geographic location of one of these schools is not likely to choose the other. They both have their benefits.  [/quote]
