Gosh, as a parent of a HS grad class of '09, I have learned plenty since joining CC less than a year ago. Frankly, before joining CC, I’d never heard of any of the 5 Consortium colleges, because of my lack of familiarity with the West Coast. I’ve enjoyed reading the different posts. This has been quite the debate/discussion. Out of all of it, one thing stands out for me: Santino dislikes anything “liberal.” He references the word “liberal” as if it were a pejorative, over and over again.

I think most of the country is liberal, or at least center-left, unlike the “center-right” meme the Republicans continue to regurgitate. If America is not center-left, how could the country have elected a center-left POTUS and a center-left VPOTUS and a center-left Congress?

To bring this back to the original question, as a center-left country, between CMC and Pomona then, I say Pomona should be the pick. :)
