<p>Drying - Our D has two Ivy League alums as parents so got a fair amount of pressure to attend a “prestigious” school. Luckily, she was not swayed by us or by many others who couldn’t understand her fascination with a little known (especially here in the south) California school. Now a Pomona junior, we can’t imagine a better place for her (or us, now that we’ve been enlightened!). At 99%, Pomona has the highest freshman retention rate in the country. That tells you how well they take care of their students, and how happy the kids are with their decision. Go with your gut - you won’t be disappointed.</p>
