<p>Your list is strange- mostly California LACs, with a couple of eastern universities. What are you really looking for in a college?</p>

<p>well that shows i am kind of lost..><</p>

<p>Pomona and Harvey Mudd are two of the best LACs in the country. They're also quite hard to get into. Both are pretty intense as well, but Harvey Mudd's students supposedly never see the light of day (besides when walking between where they study and class). Pitzers is also really good, easier to get into, and strong in the social sciences. Scripps is strong in the arts and in giving a strong, general education. The Claremont Consortium has many advantages to it, such as the ability to take up to a third of your classes at schools besides your own. Even if you go to the "weaker" schools, you can take advantage of the stronger ones for the subjects your school has less selection in. For example, Claremont McKenna had one philosophy class this semester, Pomona had many, and Pitzer had a lot, too. If i would have gone to Pitzer, I would have probably been in a phil class or two at the other schools. </p>

<p>Occidental is a lot like Pomona with less ego. It's a quiet, friendly place. They give a very strong general humanities education, and have the support of CalTech for advanced students in the sciences and engineering (if you qualify). they also have a cool program with Columbia law that allows you to get a JD in 6 years. It's very competitive. </p>

<p>I don't know much about the other schools. The Claremonts and Occidental are great, though.</p>
