There's No Need to Live Off Campus

I haven't met a single person that lives off-campus. The school provides apartments at the edge of campus for seniors, so you can have the experience of apartment living but you can still be close to everything. Everything is so convenient, so I can't think of a reason you'd want to live off-campus.

Best Nightlife for Undergrads!

Every Thursday an email is sent out letting everyone know the details for the parties happening that weekend. Thursdays are CMC only parties and Saturdays are 5-C parties at one of the 5 Claremont Colleges. Parties and alcohol are free and everyone is invited so you don't have to go to a great deal of effort to track down a party to go to. People will usually have private pre-game events in their dorm room with some friends and then head over to the main event. Most people drink, so if you're not into that and you don't like being around drunk people CMC probably isn't the place for you. But if you do, the Claremont Colleges have such a welcoming, fun party scene that you can definitely take advantage of.

Trains Are Accessible but a Hassle

There's a train station in Claremont Village that can take you into LA or pretty much anywhere else but they take a while and can be expensive. If you don't have a car, you probably won't leave campus very much but honestly there's no need to.
