<p>Invisibleorange - if that’s the only reason stopping you from enrolling, think again. I don’t want to make you feel like I’m pushing my beliefs on you, but what you said is not at all true! 
I personally am very against drinking (very unlike the German heritage in me), and I don’t find it to be a problem to me at all. True, the drinking scene can be a bit of a turn-off, but this is a problem at 90% of the colleges - Pomona’s rep is actually worse between CMC/Pomona. North Quad is not full of drunks - in fact, I’ve never wandered into anyone who seems the least bit intoxicated during daylight hours. There are still social mixers and events that are dry, and you can go to parties + not drink. College is what you make of it.
As someone who is very uptight about grades and classes, I can’t emphasize enough how I DON’T regret coming to CMC at all. I cannot imagine having a better learning experience - everyone knows each other’s names, even the cleaning ladies + cafeteria staff.
And it’s not any easier to transfer within the Claremonts, or at least that’s what the admissions say.
