  • Reviewed on: March 13, 2012 Flag Review
  • Rating:
  • There is a huge selection of courses here, and a major bonus is that you can also take classes at one of the other 4 Claremont Colleges. Academics are tough here and you have to work your butt off, but it is worth it. The faculty is superb.
