We just toured Occidental last weekend. One of the big turn offs for my son was that they said you really need a car to explore any of the city. They empathized that there was no charge for parking and that over 50% of the freshman had cars. There isn’t a good public transportation option and Ubers are very expensive. It is a small campus in a suburban area. Even though it is technically in the city, my son felt it was too isolated.
