<p>CMC - I have to admit that I don’t really “get” CMC; there’s something slippery about it (it’s business-oriented – but, it’s not business-oriented; it’s competitive but, it’s not competitive; it’s like a fraternity but, it’s not, etc, etc.) The college is approximately the size of two Yale quadrangles shoved together, and, if you major in anything other than Government or Economics, chances are you willl be spending most of your time on one of the other campuses in the consortium. The irony here is that, despite attending what is, in essence, a medium-sized university of 6,000 students, the many separate identities within the consortium almost guarantee that it won’t have the same name recognition. Just like a typical NESCAC student, you’ll be explaining to people where you go to college. OTOH, the weather is so different from the others on your list that it probably trumps everything else.</p>
