<p>IMO, The most significant distinction between Claremont and other consortia is that the Claremont colleges are all adjacent to one another (with the exception of KGI, which is a few blocks away)…they were literally created as a consortium. More than just possibilities, cross-registration, shared facilities, etc. are the norm. Makes the vibe pretty different, I imagine.</p>
<p>Columbia/Barnard isn’t quite what the OP’s describing, but it certainly belongs in the thread.</p>
<p>MIT/Wellesley/Northeastern/Olin/Tufts is another I’ve seen mentioned. Don’t know how well-utilized it is.</p>
