Ath = CMC’s Marion Miner Cook Athenaeum = http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/mmca/

Students from all 5Cs can make reservations to attend an event (concert, reading, lecture…the Fall 2006 schedule is on the site) and have dinner with the speaker(s). The talk (minus dinner) is open to students regardless of reservation. It’s free, it’s good, it’s a 2-3 hourish event, it’s a way to feel surprisingly classy in college. I know people who’ve never been and others who literally go 4 times per week.

Certain events are CMC-only (this might just apply to the dinner, though), but that’s not particularly common (and in some cases can be worked around, i.e. if you’re in a class that goes or if you can get special permission b/c it’s your field of specialization or something). You don’t have to be on a meal plan to attend, but you do have to be a student to attend for free. There’s also a small library, piano, living room area, and often snacks, so people regularly hang out in the building when events aren’t taking place.
