<p>I will say I’m glad that mine has already handled flying coast to coast on his own, and with a tight connection. Part of the reason to go to ASP was give him a feel for what the travel was really like. (When we visited in the summer, it was part of a longer trip.)
And, it will be a bit easier once they are 18 and should be able to rent a hotel room on their own. I also am hoping that mine will find friends who live in our area so they can buddy up on flights.
As far as I know, students can take anything they like at Pomona, assuming they qualify. Looking at the Pomona catalog - there are a pile of intro classics courses, for example, which probably function like a freshman seminar even if they aren’t called that. They will probably have small class sizes and lots of discussion.
Maybe it would help if your daughter looked closely at the Mudd catalog too - some courses are clearly seminar courses but they don’t always make a big deal about it.
Good luck!</p>
