If you want to be around people who talk about how great and smart they are all of the time, go to Pomona . CMCers almost always have something to say. CMC students spend much of their first year here reading The Classics and learning the basic concepts of the US economic and political system. We form moral and political beliefs based on exposure to different realms of thought. No matter what moral or political beliefs you have, prepare to fight with words, because people here will challenge them.
Political arguments are common place at dinner tables and in dorm lounges.
Official activities people often participate in include sports, whether it's NCAA, varsity or JV, or intramurals. The IM sport leagues are very popular with all the major sports. The most popular IM is the innertube-water polo league in our outdoor pool. Other school-sanctioned leisure activities include eating bad food at the Chub Hub and playing pool at the Emmet Student Center. Much of CMC's social scene, however, is unprogrammed.
