[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

DC was a recruited athlete at both Mudd and Pomona. We wanted to like the area because both schools are excellent, and we visited twice. Both times, we felt stressed by the heat and the traffic (OMG, the traffic!!!) and found the place a concrete jungle. We didn't like the bright, hard light and the stark drabness (to be fair, we visited in the middle of a major drought). We couldn't get away fast enough. However, my and my DC's experience is just one perspective. Some people love the climate and terrain and would find everything we hated to be a huge draw. You and your DC really need to visit and decide for yourselves. We didn't look at Williams. [/quote]
Claremont and Concrete jungle don't align. You should also remember from the perspective of your child who is walking and taking public transit farthest to the local target for goods. Most of Claremont is idealized suburbia with a massive tree canopy.[/quote]

Why do the Pomona folks always do this?  PP made clear it was her perspective, which doesn’t need to be identical to yours.[/quote]
Just like you responded to me, I can respond to someone else. I can also share my perspective! We are on an online, anonymous forum. [/quote]

Share your perspective whether suggesting someone else’s is wrong, it is possible.  [/quote]
