College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Claremont McKenna College Students

Read samples from the Claremont McKenna College guide below:

Academics

“Most professors seem genuinely interested in whether students learn, and they’re more than happy to meet with students to go over difficult material.”

Diversity

“Politically, almost split in the middle. Economically, most come from upper-middle-class homes. Sexually, not quite sure (definitely a mix, though). Ethnically, I think CMC is one of the most diverse campuses in the nation (and I am Hispanic). CMC does an...”

Academics

Professors at Claremont McKenna are friendly, hands-on teachers who care about the academic and general well-being of their students. With most classes enrolling fewer than 19 students, it’s easy to be heard in class; even in lecture classes, discussions are encouraged. While there is a hefty workload, Claremont is not a grind school, and generally, the work ebbs and flows in regular cycles. It is not unusual to have two weeks of intense paper-writing and midterm-taking followed by a few weeks of reading....

Diversity

Claremont’s minority enrollment statistics don’t lie: Claremont does not rank above average on ethnic diversity. However, its financial aid stats don’t lie either—CMCers come from many different socioeconomic backgrounds. Claremont students are smart, with the ability to argue and debate while still respecting another person’s point of view, which gives everyone the freedom to be different. Of all diversity issues, CMCers are probably most uncomfortable with sexual orientation. While there isn’t any...

Guys & Girls

Despite Claremont’s academic reputation and sometimes ambitious workload, what sets it apart from similar schools is the outgoing nature of its student body. CMCers like to get out and meet people, whether it’s at a party, a concert, a movie, or any other social event. That means tons of chances to meet the one—or just someone, depending on who you’re looking for. CMCers dabble in both the one-night stand and the long-term commitment. Most people are single, which means meeting a random stranger at a party...

Athletics

The California sunshine keeps Claremont’s campus warm almost year-round, and many CMCers take advantage of the climate by getting outside and playing sports, from pickup bocce and four-square to Division III basketball and water polo. There is a great sports rivalry built into the Five Colleges because the schools split into two Division III teams: the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags/Athena and the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens. The stands are always packed for games between CMS and PP, and the atmosphere is...
