Claremont McKenna is a place for the bold, adventurous, and ambitious. If you are serious about getting something done, in many cases there is funding and support available. It's just a matter of having the courage and strength to know what you want and work for it!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't decide not to come to CMC simply because you aren't a gov or Econ major. I am pre-med at CMC and it's not always easy but there is plenty of support for people off the beaten path!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I made some of the most amazing friends living in one of the least sought after dorms on campus. Sometimes less is more!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Collins is has a lot of healthy options and it's very convenient to be able to meet friends from all 5Cs at your and their dining halls.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Join a club! Go to the trivia quiz on Thursday nights! Go to a movie showing on Friday! Check out a big party or a small get together.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I'm on a very generous scholarship and what I do pay for I feel is worth it for what I get back! But many students I know who pay full tuition are equally happy with the school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
If its your birthday and you don't like being thrown in a fountain in the middle of the night wearing all your clothes, either don't come to CMC or hide on your birthday! (like I did)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Ambitious, goal-oriented, fun, good humor, intelligent, ready to work hard and play hard too!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Doesn't so much exist at CMC but there are some organizations in the 5C community.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I've never felt scared of anything or anyone on campus, the security is always around and generally don't interfere in your life or bother you except if you need help.
