<p>who applies where? what is each school good for?</p>
<p>Anyone feel free to correct me...</p>
<p>As I understand things, Pomona is the largest of the 5 C's at around 1,500 students. No particular specialization, really well rounded, extremely tough to get into. Pitzer focuses on humanities. Claremont McKenna specializes (I think?) in political science type studies. Scripps is exclusively for women (except I think for cross enrollment, but I could very well be wrong) and specializes in humanities/women studies. Harvey Mudd is computers/engineering, those kinds of fields. Hope that helps a little.</p>
<p>Pomona - general things a LAC is good for
Pitzer - artsy kinda stuff
CMC - economics, business, political science
Scripps - women studies, general LAC
HMC - engineering, math, science</p>
<p>Pomona - general LAC
Pitzer - Social sciences
CMC - Econ, IR, politics, government
Scripps - Humanities (Note to above: Women's Studies is actually an intercollegiate program)
HMC - Engineering, math, science</p>
<p>These are generalities. Most (but not all) departments are found on more than one of the campuses, while other departments/programs are shared between multiple campuses.</p>
<p>Because of cross-enrollment (between all the schools, Scripps included), no student is limited by the strengths or weaknesses of his own campus. There are Mudd dance majors and Pitzer physics majors. The strengths of each school relate most strongly to the GEs of that school, the general interests of the student body, and the type of events (speakers, conferences, film screenings, etc.) likely to be seen on each campus. </p>
<p>Each school is unique in atmosphere, residential life, GEs, student body make-up, policy (housing, drinking, etc.), admission requirements, and so forth. Again, it's hard to say "X about CMC, Y about Pomona, Z about..." because very little about the Claremont Colleges is cut and dry. Almost everything, both social and academic, is available to all students, so while "who applies where" can be answered based on stereotypes and generalities (the jock school, the girls school, the hippie school...), it's a difficult question to really answer.</p>
<p>Also many students apply to more then 1. Visiting will give you a feel for fit.</p>
<p>only pomona offers a sociology major, but if i was enrolled at CMC, would i be able to major in sociology through cross-enrollment?</p>
<p>Pitzer offers a sociology major.</p>
