Subject: Any insight on the Claremont Colleges in SoCal?
FYI there are two sets of athletic teams for the 5Cs (2 colleges make up one set of teams and 3 colleges, including CMC, make up the other set).
Best weather of any highly selective SLAC. About an hour or so from downtown LA but Claremont is a nice little town.

Claremont McKenna in particular is commonly regarded as one of the top 10 liberal art colleges in the country. It stands out for emphasizing politics, economics, and pre-professional preparation. Their alumni network is tightknit and the post-graduation outcomes are hard to beat.
All of them are selective institutions. They're also small and highly value diversity. I believe ED helps significantly at Claremont McKenna.
I'm being nitpicky but I think Pomona is consistently in the top 5 LACs, and CMC is recognized more by the programs you mention. It attracts a more pre-professional student type than Pomona or Scripps.

I’m in tech now but studied government and spent a semester interning in DC which is how I ended up here
That's really interesting! Do you mind sharing (a condensed version) of how you got from government to tech? My DC is interested in politics and economics and doesn't really want to study CS, but is interested in the tech industry.[/quote
DP but gov majors need to be quant inclined unless they are heading to law school or lobbying (dead-end non profits).
Meant *OR* the non-profits!

WTH is wrong with SoCal? I didn’t write the post but as someone born and raised in Calif until age 30 I say there’s nothing wrong with it. Sheesh.

Kids are very happy there. Small classes, diverse faculty and students, great weather, easy access to the big city.

There are some posts about CMC and the other 5 colleges if you poke around. Really great option to get the SLAC experience but with more options for classes, dining, clubs, social circles etc.

Our son recently had outreach from a coach at Claremont McKenna in SoCal. From initial research it sounds like an interesting opportunity with strong academics. Any insight from the DCUM pundits?
