[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advantages of tufts are its size and location. SLACs are great if you find your people relatively quickly but can be isolating if you don’t. [/quote]
They're the same size.[/quote]

Tufts is 6800, Pomona 1700.  [/quote]
Pomona is a part of continuous consortium of campus attached to the hip who participate in daily academic, sports, and social life- it has 6000 undergrads.  Unless you think the separate colleges of tufts are islands where students between can’t interact, these schools are roughly equivalent in undergraduate size.[/quote]

A consortium is not the same as a university. Stick to apples to apples comparisons.[/quote]
Very fundamentally different. Cause in a normal university, people of different colleges can't take classes together or eat in the same dining hall...oh wait-[/quote]
Np. This is a huge stretch. The fact that the Claremont consortia schools can cross-register for those who are interested does not change the enrollment size of Pomona. Are you thinking that the students at all 4 other schools attempt to register for all their classes at Pomona? That would be completely absurd and untrue. The bottom line is that OP’s child has two amazing schools to choose from. Good for them. They’ll be fine either way.[/quote]
