Pomona vs. Northwestern?

<p>What a difficult choice. Yes, I do realize they are totally different. I'm planning to overnight at Pomona soon, and I live real close to Northwestern, so I have hung out with friends there and know the school pretty well. I thought I'd get some opinions here first.</p>

<p>I don't know what I wanna major in, but it's not science or math. I'm thinking social sciences, maaybee English or somewhere in the humanities. Not sure. I want an all around good education, opportunities to explore. I honestly don't know how much class sizes or professor interaction mean to me. What appeals to me about Northwestern is that it just seems full of opportunities to explore and learn a lot of new things. And have fun in the dorms. And explore Chicago (even though I've been here for so long). I'm pretty sick of the Chicago winters, though, and wouldn't mind living in socal! Friendly/fun/interesting student body is important to me. Claremont's Ultimate team is good, which is a plus. Money is a pretty much non-issue.</p>

<p>Any advice on LAC vs. University would be helpful as well. thanks!</p>

<p>Pomona no doubt. One of my good friends goes there and says its been the best experience of his life. Honestly, the area around Pomona (LA, SD, etc) is amazing and full of opportunity as well and it has an amazing dorm/party scene because of all of the colleges in the area, especially claremont mckenna. There is no doubt in my mind that Pomona is where you should go, judging by what it seems you want from college. Try california, don't go to Northwestern, you'll regret it.</p>

<p>It definitely seems like you would prefer a LAC so I would go with Pomona in your case. Different strokes for different folks.</p>
