Claremont Mckenna consists of a student body who is committed to learning. I respect that all the students are not only willing to learn from the professors, but learn from others. Every student I have met here has been equally supportive to others as they are to themselves. It is a rigorous academic enviornment; one that works you to the core.

BEST COLLEGE EVER.

I love it here! Transferred from occidental college and headed to medical school next year. Oxy is a nice place but people looked for reasons to be unhappy. Here, people look for reasons to be happy. That transfer was a very difficult decision, but maybe one of the best of my life.

The opportunities provided here are unparalleled in terms of gaining real world experience. The party scene is super inclusive but gets old pretty quick, but as an earlier commenter stated, it is much better than other small liberal arts colleges. The people here are extremely driven and fun to be around and you can't beat the Californian weather.
