<p>I chose Claremont McKenna over Whitman despite being offered a hefty merit-scholarship from Whitman. I visited Whitman and felt comfortable, but I didn’t feel like the students were really academically engaged or cared about their education. The class I visited at Claremont was discussion based and the professor did not need to pull answers from students, but instead everyone was engaged and seemed to have a passion for learning. The academics at Claremont McKenna and the other 4Cs surpass Whitman.</p>
