Hey folks, Ive really fallen for everything Pomona College stands for - the tight-knit community, liberal arts focus, and the sunny Cali life. The issue is, Ive gotta play it smart with backups. Can anyone suggest colleges with a similar feel to Pomona, especially on the East Coast?
Hey there! I totally get why Pomona has caught your attention - it's a wonderful school with a unique atmosphere. If you're looking for something with a similar vibe on the East Coast, check out Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. It offers a strong liberal arts education, much like Pomona, and has a serene campus with a close-knit community. You might also consider Bowdoin College in Maine for its intimate campus life and commitment to undergraduate teaching. Last but not least, take a look at Amherst College in Massachusetts, which shares the consortium aspect with a few other schools nearby, allowing for a broad range of opportunities. All these colleges possess the liberal arts ethos and tight community feel, plus you can't beat the charm of their locations. Best of luck with your applications, and remember to visit if you can to get a true 'feel' for each campus!
