<p>What made you want to apply/go to CMC? For me, it was the academic strength, <em>especially</em> IR (my prospective major), location, resources w/ other Claremont colleges.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>the environment</p>
<p>I really liked the idea of "leadership in the liberal arts" and "play hard work hard." It pretty much describes me.</p>
<p>smallness. in retrospect, i made a good decision. i think the ability to be known by your employers/administrators/professors at school really makes the experience, much more so than if the school you go to has 'x' majors program or lets you minor in underwater basket weaving. i'm an IR major too, but it isn't like I couldn't be taking almost the exact same courseload as an econ,govt, or whatever major. don't worry about your major title, just take classes you like.</p>
