What is Claremont Mckenna College like?

We do have a liberal drinking policy (the school provides the alcohol), but I think this is mostly to deter students from going off campus to drink in unsafe environments, in a vehicle, etc. Additionally, this also allows the school to control the type of alcohol that is prevalent on campus. If anything, the school just acknowledges that college students will drink and tries to provide a safe, open environment where students do not fear going to an RA or calling for help when something goes wrong. I personally do not drink and do not think its a “problem” on campus, its just discussed more openly at CMC than other places. Aside from that, CMC is a great school with strong academics and more opportunity than a more traditional liberal arts school can provide. We have access to so many resources and have so many established networks for students to use; its amazing to have all of these resources for such a small school. Plus, the student-faculty interaction is excellent and exceeds the quality of most other schools. Sometimes, the intellectual snobbery is intimidating (and obnoxious), but if you got in you’re obviously no dummy. If you have any additional questions, feel free to e-mail me.
