I love cmc academically, just a bit worried about the party scene. visited st Andrew’s and it was super fun, cool town, bars, club, etc, does Claremont McKenna have that too?

Hi everyone!

Just looking for some suggestions for indoor study spots at any of the colleges on campus. I'm aware of the Robert Day Science Center part of CMC and also the main Claremont library, but if anyone has any other ideas for places open to the public or that are easy to get into, it would be greatly appreciated. I go to a school nearby, and our campus just kinda sucks lol so just trying to explore. Thanks!

Hi! I got into both - Claremont McKenna for integrated sciences (brain/learning/decision making) and into WashU college of arts and sciences (I applied public health but the letter doesn’t give a major). I attended the cmc admitted students day and had amazing convo with students and and even the head of curriculum (we chatted about the med-school readiness their curriculum provides given all the complaints I found online) and I feel really assured I’ll have everything I want for med school. my con is that they’re known for leadership and Econ primarily. Lots of research opportunities and a great alumni network but idk. WashU, on the other hand, it’s really tempting because its attached to a med school, hospital and has a really good name behind it. Everyone knows washu but few know cmc. I haven’t had the chance to speak with washu faculty or friends so I don’t have much of an opinion yet.

Hi all!

I'm currently a Admitted Student to Pitzer college, and I was wondering what are the film opportunities like at Pitzer or the 5C's?

I'm very passionate about film and I understand that there is a Media Studies program, however it's not related really to conventional filmmaking or narrative filmmaking.

Do you guys know of any other opportunities on campus, or any information that I'm mistaken about?

I'd really like to try my hand in the film industry!

Thanks so much!

Hi! I am going to be a first-year student at Pitzer in the fall. While I am going to major in environmental analysis, I love theatre, and I am super interested in participating in the musicals at the Claremont Colleges. I was wondering if there are musicals that take place each year? And if anyone knows what the musicals are going to be for the 2026-2027 academic year?

For physics/astrophysics, they will all be roughly the same cost. Might switch into engineering or something else in STEM.

Anyone have any updates?
