<p>What are the strengths and weaknesses of Claremont, Santa Clara, and Occidental? Which college offers the most well rounded college experience (athletics, academics, social life, extracurriculars, career opportunities)? Which is the most diverse?</p>
<p>I think Claremont is considered the most prestigious, but aside from that are there qualitative differences between the three?</p>
<p>Hi urtheman! This is kind of a hard question to answer because I do not know much about SC or CMC. AND, I’m super biased towards Oxy because I love it here. I think that you’re going to have to make your decision based on the type of vibe you’re looking for in a school. All three schools you’ve mentioned are very good academically and offer a huge array of opportunities. And I’m sure they all have people that love going to them. They are even all located in and around Los Angeles, but they’re very different schools! It’d be extremely hard to sum up the Occidental experience in post here on College Confidential, so my best suggestion for you is to visit as many info sessions as you can, talk to as many people you know that attend these schools, and if possible, come to LA and spend time on each of the campuses. I hope this helps!! Good luck in your decision!</p>
