[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s Pomona’s culture like? Most like Wes, Williams, Swarthmore, or…?[/quote]

Not really like any of them. Maybe Swarthmore if you had to pick one, but still quite different. Students there are noticeably more laid-back and unassuming, yet deeply motivated and inquisitive behind the surface. There's kind of a pretense there where students appear to be in a summer camp resort setting, but the academics are rigorous and there is a prominent intellectual undercurrent. It's a school where the students gradually learn of how impressive their peers really are, whereas you notice that more outright at East Coast SLACs and Ivies.

One unique feature of Pomona is that the consortium it is in are schools one next to the other. They interact quite heavily and also influence the overall atmosphere at Pomona. Those have widely different student bodies and academic emphases, so it's a diverse setting that opens all the students up to a variety of perspectives. [/quote]
