<p>I have narrowed down my list of colleges to
Whitman College
Pomona College
Claremont Mckenna College
Bowdoin College</p>
<p>Can you guys compare and contrast these schools for me?</p>
<p>First of all, do you like sun or snow? Claremont and Pomona are in Calli, while Bowdoin is in Maine. BIG DIFFERENCE.</p>
<p>I think Whitman and Claremont McKenna offer merit aid. Pomona does not. Not sure about Bowdoin.</p>
<p>Weather is not a big deal to me in my college selection; I could see myself comfortably in sunshine or under snow</p>
<p>Pomona is need-blind however (not sure about the others). </p>
<p>Well I don’t really have much to say about Whittier or Bowdoin, but if you’re big into politics, Pomona is more liberal than CMC. Also, major-wise, CMC’s probably stronger in PoliSci, IR, etc. while Pomona’s pretty strong across the board. You can’t really go wrong with either!</p>
<p>Is whitman a step below the others academically?</p>
