<p>Ha! I wondered that, too. I thought it might be Pomona, but it seems like it was Occidental (which is only a couple miles from Cal Tech, so maybe they did some filming there, too). The movie definitely implied that the daughter was going to Stanford, but there wasn’t any Stanford in the college drop-off scenes.</p>
<p>Great movie, by the way. There was absolutely nothing about it I didn’t like. Lisa Chodorenko’s other movies have been near-misses for me, but this one was a solid hit. The actors playing the kids are fantastic.</p>
