It feels strange to rate my college but I must say it was some of the best money I ever spent.

I took plenty of classes at Claremont McKenna and Pomona, and had wonderful professors there, several of whom I still speak to on occasion.

Today I decided to attend a special music presentation at Oldenborg, the foreign language dorm. I…read morebought my $11 meal ticket at Cafe47 inside the Smith Campus Center, then walked over to Oldenborg. The cafeteria there is so amazing! I enjoyed jasmine rice with gyudon beef, garlic green beans, salmon sushi, tuna rolls, veggie roll, a sesame dressing salad, and berries/pineapple. I chatted with some current professors at my table as we waited for the program to start and found out Oldenborg will be razed to the ground next year to be replaced by another modern building. Hmm hopefully newer also means better? The event today was beautiful.. Mao and Nobuko played a shamisen and biwa, respectively (Japanese string instruments), as well as a bamboo flute, along with singing, as they taught us about the history of traditional Japanese music. I learned a lot and appreciated the haunting songs in minor keys.

Pomona college in Claremont California is a huge and beautiful campus…read more My twins and they're theater club went to the theater festival here on Sat 14th, Sun, 15th, and Mon the 16th 2026. They had a wonderful time. Most of the people were welcoming and friendly. Some unfortunately were stuck up and rude but the kids didn't let it bother them. They enjoyed all the festivities and performances. They also got to be backstage and help with the performances. They had a bunch of different workshops. My twins and the theater kids had a blast!

They…read morehave good defense, their offense plays are impressive and I like how the coach rotates the members throughout so everyone stays fresh and on their A-game! They play at the Voelkle gym, which took me a while to figure out where as the building is unnamed. Games are free, the gym is comfortable and I had a lot fun. Go Sagehens!

IDK why anyone looking at colleges would come to Yelp for the review, but as it is listed I will…read morereview it. Reflections on transfer student experience: Quickly integrated into social events and groups. Many many offerings including about 5 BSU-related events in 4 days. Each campus has its own BSU, plus there is the office of Black Student Affairs, and so much overlap. Though the overall percentage of Black students could be higher, the ability to find one's people and be supported by the school is great so far. (and there are many professors of color) Lots of new-school-year plant-related events and artsy events (make ___ for your dorm decor and get to know people kind of thing) Professors: there are good and bad everywhere, but so far all professors are great and classes are happening at Pitzer, Pomona, CMC. Treatment of transfers: a little slow. They seem to forget they have transfers at key moments, so resilience when first onboarding is needed. Not a reason to reject Pitzer, just something to prepare for. Academic Accommodations: slow from this office. Much promised but seems so far like students have to bug the office for what is due. Not a reason to reject Pitzer, just something to prepare for. Libraries: as non-students taking a self-guided tour, looks good. Lots of different types of spaces in the beautiful main library, including 2 treadmill desks!. Scripps has a little library that is so pretty. Lovely garden spaces: the Botanic Gardens are HUGE and right next to the CCA (campus-owned apartments where many upperclass can live). Campus has newly revised student garden and associated club. Many lovely spaces on campus to appreciate. Cute downtown has enough to cater to college kids. As with any college decision, student must find the vibe and finances that match them, but Pitzer has much to offer if these 2 things are in line for you.

Beautiful school. Lovely neighborhood. Sometimes students are a bit crazy lol but what group of…read morestudents arent? It's a nice school with lots of trees. Feels like you're in Sacramento or something. Just a different vibe. Nice for those who want to stay close to home.

In regards to CGU, I applied for 2020 Fall admission to their PhD Organizational Behavior program…read more I attended the information event, I spoke with admissions counselors, I spoke with professors in the program in person regarding research interests, and attended one lab meeting, with plans to attend more. I thought everything was set, and then received news that my application was deferred to their MA program. I was advised that I was to pay $30,000 per year for two years, and then if I were offered admission to their PhD program after that, I would have the opportunity to pay $15,000-20,000 per year after that for my degrees. After speaking with existing students, I learned that a.) the program itself is falling apart with professors leaving for other institutions, "orphaning" most PhD students within the program, and b.) the rigor of the classes is (and I quote here) "disappointing," with a limited scope of professional foci and research interests. The school seems to push their associations with Positive Psychology, a field in which the scientific validity is dubious at best. They seem to push out research articles with "click-baity" (for lack of a better term) titles, which are picked up by media outlets and spread around like Buzzfeed videos. I'm not here to create "clickbait", Buzzfeed-quality research, I'm here for a fucking serious degree. Thank goodness I dodged the bullet with CGU.

What: campus tour. Our guides were very informative and we really enjoyed the tour. Even though it…read morewas spring break, we were able to see various spaces and buildings and pass the dorms. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get lunch in the dining hall since it was closed for the break.

So I attended a job fair at Harvey Mudd College and, let me tell you--this school is where geniuses…read morecasually walk around in hoodies like it's no big deal. I swear one student coded a neural network while waiting in line for a sandwich. As a recruiter, I showed up fully expecting to be the one with answers, but these students asked questions that made me briefly consider going back to school--or joining a witness protection program. One kid said, "Let's talk about edge computing," and I said, "Sure, let me just... Google that real quick under the table." The campus is gorgeous, the staff were super welcoming, and best of all: THE PARKING. Sweet, glorious parking. I found a spot faster than I find Wi-Fi at a Starbucks. I didn't have to circle like a stressed-out vulture or invent a new yoga pose to squeeze into a spot built for tricycles. 10/10 would park there recreationally. Honestly, if brains were a currency, this place is Fort Knox. The students are smart, the vibes are good, and the event was organized with the kind of efficiency that makes you wonder if someone time-traveled to make it happen. Would I go again? Absolutely. Would I prepare harder next time? Also yes--maybe with flashcards and a stress ball. Harvey Mudd: come for the job fair, stay because you accidentally enrolled in a quantum mechanics class just by making eye contact with a student.

The meet is touted as 'the world's largest cross country invitational' I hate to admit this but based on the website, I thought it was going to be a complete madhouse but it was so well organized! There is a parking fee (paid on site and in cash) and a per person spectator fee (which you can pay online or in person). My review is two fold- a spectators view and a runners view: Spectator: You're in a huge stadium, and while you can only see the jumbotron, you're basically getting a birdeye view of the race because there are drones and cameras on the course. The sports announcer gives everyone in the arena a play by play so you aren't missing a thing. Runner: My son said the course was nice- a combination of asphalt and trail running. There was plenty of merch available and it wasn't too overpriced. The t-shirts are nice quality. Overall, this is one of the most organized invitationals I've been to. Well done!
