<p>^ I always hear people say “this school fits my personality better” but what does that really mean? What kind of personality would thrive at Pomona? What kind of personality would thrive at CMC?</p>
<p>I’ve heard a lot about CMC doing a great job providing their students with internships and setting them up for jobs after graduation. Does Pomona do something similar? Or does CMC really have an advantage in that regard?</p>
<p>(The rest of this post is the same as in the Pomona thread… so if you check both forums no need to read it twice.)</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I have less than a week to decide and I’m still torn between the two! I’ll be out there sometime this week to look at the campuses before making a final decision.</p>
<p>This decision would be easier if I knew what I’m going to major in. I have an interest in Economics and Political Science and I could very well end up majoring in one of them. But on the other hand, I would also love an Environmental Analysis major. And I’m not ruling out going to law school, either. </p>
<p>I thought of a couple more questions…</p>
<p>Does one school tend to have a more active student body than the other? Particularily when it comes to world issues (ie. climate change, Darfur, etc). I haven’t mentioned this, but I’m also considering Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and they’re known for having a very active student body when it comes to world issues.</p>
<p>Also, is it possible for a student to major in something that’s only offered at a different Claremont school? For instance, if I decided to go to Pomona could I still major in the Environment, Economics, and Politics major at CMC?</p>
<p>Lastly, the Roberts Environmental Center at CMC seems to be an advantage for someone like myself who is interested in majoring in Enviornmental Analysis. I’ve heard (and HungryMan also said this) that Pomona is slightly stronger when it comes to environmental analysis. Comments on that?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your help!</p>
