<p>yea im goin to actually visit ucla the monday of my spring break and claremont the next.</p>
<p>but i think it's goin to ultimately come down to big vs small college.. and what i want out of hte college experience--not sure if im going to be able to decide that after the visits though.</p>
<p>I just sent someone a very long PM about why I ended up choosing Scripps over Cal. It's just my own experience, but I'm happy to send it your way if you're interested. Just PM.</p>
<p>(For the record, no knock on Cal. I think I'm headed there, next, so things worked out pretty perfectly.)</p>
<p>I also chose between UCLA and the Claremont colleges last year. For me, UCLA's location and offerings made it an easy choice. I don't need 12person classes. If you need them then choose Claremont. Otherwise, UCLA wins every other way.</p>
