Student's Review

Review of Claremont McKenna College

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

You can expect classes to be challenging, but interesting. Since all classes are small (generally no more than 15-25 students) you can expect one on one time with the professor whenever you need it.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are okay. Generally you can expect to live all 4 years on campus. They are all centrally located and only a short walk to wherever you are headed.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Great all you can eat food at all 7 of the 5-C dining halls. The best college food in the country!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

CMC is expensive, but there is financial aid available if you qualify. CMC graduates enjoy one of the highest starting salaries of any university in the country.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

You get ponded (thrown into one of the fountains) on your birthday.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Academic, Athletic, and Outgoing.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is no greek life at CMC. In my opinion this is great because we have parities every week that everyone can go to. We also have massive 5-C parties that are legendary. (FOAM at Mudd, Pirate Party at CMC, EuroTrash at Scripps, Harwood Halloween at Pomona)
