[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted upthread but you should visit Pomona. It's easy to idealize southern Cal and there are lots of pluses to Pomona but Claremont is not a beauty spot. [/quote]

I like Claremont as a college location.  Sure, if you think of California as being "the beach", access to "cool" LA spots, or partying - Claremont does not provide "step off campus" access. But not everyone is looking for those. We have family in LA and spend a lot of time there. Our DC loved Claremont, but they are low key, liked the easy access to the mountains, great running options, and the weather. They also liked that there were many airports providing access in one way or another to the east coast. Also loved the very active outdoors club that takes trips to explore great outdoor nature spots throughout CA.

Williams is also pretty and has access to mountains, but DC had no interest in the cold - and preferred the opportunity to explore CA nature over NY/NE nature.

Locations are similar in terms of broad nature - yet also quite different - so it's all a matter of preference.

Both are very hard to get into and both are great schools. The chances of having both to choose from seems unlikely - and it also feels unlikely that a student wouldn't have a preference between the two.[/quote]
