Best of Claremont McKenna College

Asian Studies

I find it contradictory that the Asian Studies major asks you to specify East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia as a regional focus but none of the Claremont Colleges offers a South Asian or Southeast Asian language. There are some unique and interesting classes though.

Good Stuff

People here are generally good looking, friendly, and very outgoing. There are are exceptions, but most students are a lot of fun to be around. Almost everyone loves to have a good time, and there are few if any who hole themselves up to study all day. People here know how to strike a good work/fun balance. Work hard play hard.

Almost No Campus Strictness

It's pretty hard to get in trouble here. But like any college, don't cheat or plagiarize or else you'll get in huge academic trouble. Other than that, feel free to drink in public, play tricks on people, throw people in the pond, whatever.
