<p>Xiggi- I'm taking the 5th -lol. Besides, I think its the water polo players that are the rowdies.</p>
<p>bullwinkle, thanks for the thorough post.</p>
<p>Nwestmom, many boys I know want to go to a school that doesn't exist. They are looking for a school with 5-7000 students that has division 3 sports (so they can play)...in California. </p>
<p>I was thinking that maybe the Claremont Colleges are the closest to what the boys want. Of course, they are more interested in business and economics than any other subjects. They don't have the grades for Claremont McKenna :(</p>
<p>One of mine is in her second year at one of the Claremont colleges -- not Pomona. She is taking a class at Pomona with no problem scheduling it, loves having all the dining options, is invovled in 5-C ECs, has friends from the other colleges. That said, she does say there is a real sense that Pomona has more money and thus their kids have "perks" the other colleges don't (snack every night, some nicer facilities, etc.). She would agree that the stereotypes are overblown, but would also say that you can tell which college a group of students are from by looking (but that you couldn't tell for an individual -- only for groups. . .) She also thinks that it is nice to visit the other schools and then "come home" to your own college.</p>
<p>my3girls, Would you mind saying which of the colleges your daughter attends? If it is Scripps, I'd love to ask you a few questions. You can private message me if you prefer.</p>
<p>dstark-as to your last post, I think you are correct that the school you describe does not exist. If you have any other specific questions, feel free to send me a PM. While my S presently in college plays football, my oldest S played baseball a few years ago and my D is hoping to play softball after HS, so I've gotten pretty familiar (perhaps more than I'd like-lol) with the various programs in California, especially the SoCal D-3's. Happy to help you with any info that I can.</p>
