LOL no. Absolutely not a literary, writing community or chill vibe. It's a bunch of amped up fratty pre-professional grinders trying to get into the same 3 consulting groups. Not literary at all.

My nephew was a freshman there an transferred out a few years back.[/quote]
It's perfect for the majors their child is interested in and there's a ton of writing communities everywhere in the Claremont Colleges. If no on Claremont McKenna, they should take off Pomona.

Also, [b]there's no frats. [/b][/quote]

I said "fratty" which is how they describe themselves in terms of culture. It's jokingly called one big frat, but lots of hazing on sports team. I think soccer or football was suspended mid-year for their extreme hazing last year. Very blackout drunk party culture and old-fashioned attitudes towards gender. Lots of medical ambulances called during parties, throwing up drunk/blacking out is called a "canon event" to fit into the culture.

I would call Pomona, Scripps (but all women) and perhaps Pitzer even better for "literary" vibe. Not CMC or Mudd.[/quote]
So they’re normal kids having normal college experience. What? Do your kids smoke pipes and only talk about Darwin on the weekends. Some people aren’t allergic to fun[/quote]

You can think of nothing in between black out drunk and discussing Darwin on weekends? Guess what? Not all college kids drink, and nondrinkers also have fun. And is it really :fun: to be black out drunk? Mostly, for women especially, it is very dangerous.[/quote]
