Worst of Claremont McKenna College

College Park- Do Not Live Here

I live in an apartment complex which is a 3 min drive from CMC, this place is horrible! Apart from the two higher ranking people who work here and the gardeners, the other leasing office people are mean and vindictive. They are NOT friendly to college kids as much as they like to say they are, they put you next to real people- families, cops, old people hoping that they will keep you under control. I don't do drugs but there are 3 different cops living close to me, it's just not nice to know. It will make so much more sense to have a corner for college kids because now, EVERYONE is unhappy! This place is also really expensive and unsafe. MY CAR GOT BROKEN INTO RIGHT OUTSIDE OF MY APT BUILDING!

A Lot of Pretentiousness on the School's Part

They try and punish kids when they get too drunk and get alcohol poisoning (which is legal if you are of age, just stupid) but they ignore kids that do drugs because it looks bad on them if they recognize there is a drug problem, which there is. Lots of weed, some cocaine underground, and ecstacy is gaining ground at Scripps College. If you wish to avoid it, there is no pressure whatsover. Walk away.
