Small classes, great variety (especially with the other colleges in the Claremont Consortium), and excellent professors. Pomona should be more well-known as one of the best schools in the country.

Claremont does not offer exciting nightlife options, but it is a cute town with good restaurants and shops. It is very safe and has an upscale feel to it, which may bore many college students; we make our own fun. Getting to LA can be difficult on public transportation, but renting a Zipcar or knowing someone with a car can overcome this if you need to spend time in a big city.

The buildings on campus are beautiful and well-maintained.

The school is very realistic about what students may do during their free time, and they are not out to get us in trouble. The administration wants us to be safe but still enjoy our college years.

In general, students love to drink socially. Given that it is in California, many people smoke weed too. Nevertheless, no one has to do anything they don't want to do.

There are a lot of singles available, even for freshmen. Dorms aren't crowded; they don't try to squeeze too many people on one floor, so you become close to everyone who lives near you and still have your own space.

Virtually all students live on-campus for all four years.
