CAMPUS LIFE
What’s it like? It’s like living in a quiet, tree-lined town at the base of snow-capped mountains with 730 friends who, like you, are totally committed to the life of the mind, love working on seemingly impossible problems, want to be part of an actual community, and would gladly spend a large amount of time producing a play, conceiving a prank, setting up a lab, watching the entire run of a convoluted television series, hiking the aforementioned snow-capped mountains, or anything else that would count as a healthy activity.
THE LIVING SITUATION Most students live in one of our eight residence halls, each with its own legend, its own aura. Student proctors in each dorm— seniors—serve as guides, role models and activity coordinators. In short, people are social. We live together, we study together, we work together, we assemble sofas in a courtyard and arrange them to look like Stonehenge. There’s an institutional commitment to fun—to leading a healthy, balanced life.
ATHLETICS AND GENERAL RECREATION Claremont McKenna, HMC and Scripps join together as the CMS varsity athletic program (our clever acro- nym) to field NCAA Division III teams in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (aka SCIAC). Our men’s teams have won way, way more conference titles—165—than any other SCIAC program. Our women’s teams have won the second-most titles among women’s programs. And CMS is the only program to have won a conference title in each sport; we’ve won all 20 sports at least twice. So there. Meanwhile, in the world of general recreation, you can take (or organize) exercise programs sponsored by The Claremont Colleges—everything from fly-fishing to floor hockey, from kayaking to kick- boxing. You could also go to our Linde Activities Center, home to aerobics and weight rooms; basketball, badminton and volleyball courts; ping-pong, foos- ball and air hockey tables; rental services for movies, sports equipment, and hiking and surfing equipment; a big-screen TV, and, when you’re ready to cool down, a computing facility.
