Visiting
Why you should come. Because we’re much cuter in person. Another good reason, even though it’s cliché: you can’t understand a place until you’ve been there. “Small campus,” “tight-knit community,” “world-class research facilities,” “foam party”—these are just abstractions. They’ll come vividly to life if you visit.
WHAT YOU COULD DO WHEN YOU’RE HERE
Take a tour. A living, breathing student will guide you around campus for an hour or so. We give regular tours on weekdays and on selected Saturday mornings in the fall. Call ahead to schedule a time.
Have an interview. Not required—but
recommended. Not formal and tense; in fact, relaxed and friendly. We’d talk about your interests, your ideas, the college.
Y
We’d have a conversation, basically. You could schedule an interview as early as the spring of your junior year, but we’ll probably have more to talk about if you wait until summer or the fall of your senior year.
Stay overnight. You’ll befriend a student host, get free meals, live in one of our residence halls, and generally feel like you have an all-access pass to the community. Space may be limited, so call at least two weeks in advance.
Mingle. Meet with a (warm, funny, responsive, brilliant) faculty member, join a (lively, provocative, brain-bending) class. Imagine working with these people and taking those classes every day of your imminent future.
HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN Pick up the phone and call us at 909.621.8011. We’ll provide travel tips, a list of local hotels and an itinerary for your time on campus. It’s best to see us when classes are in session

TRANSPORTATION We’re in Claremont, a relatively short, thrillingly traffic-plagued drive from Los Angeles. The Metrolink (the region’s com- muter rail service) can take you from L.A. to Claremont in 50 minutes. If you’re coming by plane, you could use the convenient Ontario International Airport, 10 miles from campus.
