<p>One will not find the same research opportunities at Pomona. Chicago is a major research university with a medical school and medical center a part of the division of biological sciences of the University (quite rare). Often overlooked, is the very distinguished humanities faculty at Chicago. However, one can take courses at all the other Claremont colleges, so, for example, Harvey Mudd faculty are available if the mathematics or engineering strikes one’s fancy. (S2 prefers Claremont McKenna College to Pomona, but that’s a subject more appropriate for a different forum.)</p>
