<p>Hi there,
I know similar questions have been asked before, but how do you all feel about this?
It seems cross registration works seamlessly among the colleges, so I would like to focus more on social aspects of the 5Cs. How often do the colleges interact?
Are friends made mostly through class or parties?- How inviting are other colleges in parties and social events.
Are career resources/networking only specific to each college.
Sorry if this seems overwhelming, but to sum up, does it feel as though you are having a larger college experience with comfort of your own small one?
Thank you!
P.s, how do you all feel about Pitzer students?</p>
<p>I think the difference between Claremont and a single Uni. is that each school here has such a distinct personality, in a way that you might not see develop at a Uni. Socially, the 5-Cs interact all the time- this past week was a giant game of Humans vs. Zombies with over 500 students representing all of the colleges. I think friends are largely made through 5C activities (more through volunteering, organizations, etc and less through parties) and through dorms. So while people at each school are open and often do make friends at the neighboring schools, everyone’s largest friend base comes from the people that you live with on your particular campus.</p>
<p>Career resources/networking are fluid between the colleges, though each school has it’s own office and staff-- events are public, or for all Claremont students.
I feel like I’m attending a small school with a larger area to explore. When in Claremont, I identify primarily as a Scrippsie, but when I’m elsewhere, I’m just as excited to meet students and alums of any of the Claremont schools (if that makes sense as an indicator). </p>
<p>Pitzer students are fine? I don’t know what you’re looking for there, but I’ve loved my classes at Pitzer.</p>
