[quote=Anonymous]I'm a 5Cs parent and dc has close friends at both CMC and Pomona. I wrote earlier about no AC in Pomona dorms.  I won't rehash the obvious differences in philosophy or student body, although in dc's friend group there are kids from Scripps, Pomona and CMC. The dining halls are irrelevant school to school. A student is probably eating in a different dining hall every night of the week. Mallot at Scripps is widely considered the best and is the busiest (it also has tons of gorgeous outdoor seating). If you think your student is too good to brush shoulders with Scrippsies or Pitzer kids, the 5C's probably aren't for you. Most of the kids hang and party together. Dd chose Scripps bc it's the only one of the schools to give decent merit aid. CMC is playing the rankings game hard, and capping classes to other schools to reduce their student-teacher ratio and building a new athletic complex, neither of which are meaningful academically. There's also a real Pomona troll on here who always talks shit about it, be warned![/quote]
