<p>Hi! So I don’t think I can answer all your questions, but I do have a really good friend who goes to CMC and I will tell you what she told me. CMC is more social, and are considered the “bros” of the Claremont Colleges. They also have a really strong Economics program- so that is definitely a plus for you! What the five colleges (Pitzer, Scripps, Harvey Mudd, Pomona, and CMC) do that is unique is that they allow you to take classes from all five of the schools. So Scripps is known for (correct me if I am wrong on this) their English programs and so then you can take credits over on their campus because the colleges are SO close together (I visited there this summer, and I think the CMC campus is a 5-10 minute walk from beginning to end). All of the buildings are extremely close as well- and I know there is a joint science building that ALL colleges go to. </p>
<p>What my friend did tell me (because her brother goes to Pomona) was that the Pomona students were very eccentric. For example, when they introduce themselves at their orientation they use a gender pronoun. For example, “Hi I am Lilly and I am a she”. You can take this with a grain of salt, but for me that was just too weird. </p>
<p>Sorry I can’t answer all your questions, but I felt giving you this insight would be better than not giving any at all… May also be biased considering my source does attend CMC and loves it 
Best of luck to you in your college search!</p>
