What a silly suggestion. It’s not scary to party
DP. Not scary to party; But maybe the prof heard some isolated incidents or hallway talk that scared her? I want to know more on why she would make a comment before discarding it.
Things happen at all schools. There’s no reason to believe there’s more issues at cmc than a school like auburn or Miami or even Pomona.

Why would I make that up?

+1 Absolutely making things up. We considered it a strength when my kid was looking at CMC and Pomona

CMC is not expecting to expand enrollment numbers, but the new space allows them to make an even larger economics building/department, improve/integrate integrated sciences, and generally make an even better academic experience.
Pomona is expanding class sizes to about 2000 in the near future (after summer 2026)
CMC’s science building is pretty much done and on schedule open next month. I’d still expect a few hiccups but it’s there.
It’s such a bad idea for a department. I’m not sure why they’d invest in it when their entire thing is government and economics. Who goes to Claremont McKenna for science?
Almost no one as a sole major, which is why they’re doing a general integrated science major. They’re planning on students going into business and needing a foundational education is science. So I think it’ll commonly be a dual major with Econ.
So they want their students to be poor
