[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Williams for a rural experience
Amherst for a college town experience
Swarthmore for a suburban experience
Pomona for a west coast experience
Barnard/Reed for the urban experience

You aren't better than others for choosing one over the other.[/quote]

West coaster checking in! I'd hardly call Pomona or any of the 5Cs providing a true "west coast" experience. The 5Cs are firmly in what we call the "Inland empire". Nowhere near the coast or a city. Please don't think of it as being even within 30 minutes from a beach or major city. You need to fly into Ontario airport not LAX and it's easily 1-2 hrs (depending on how bad the traffic is) away from anything fun in LA. You're essentially just in an affluent suburb in the inland empire with a new-ish town area that's more interesting to professors and the parents of 5C students than teens or adults in their early 20s. There's no club, bar or music scene. The most laudable things about Claremont town is its farmer's market. It is very dull which is why the campus becomes a bubble for those students.[/quote]
LA club culture sucks. If that's what you're going to the west coast for, reverse track and go to New York. Raves are in and great all around the area, usually closer to OC than LA or IE. Warehouse parties are all over right now. You can enjoy all of this if you're living in Claremont lol. It's not in the high desert.[/quote]
