Frequent 6-college parties and other social events give CMCers a chance to meet a wide variety of students, both from their own college and from those nearby. Conveniently for nature buffs, skiing or hiking in the mountains is just minutes away. Spectacular deserts and world famous beaches lie within an hour's drive of Claremont. And don't sweat it if you don't have a car.
Public transportation is more than ample.
Besides, hardly a week goes by that doesn't offer some kind of bus trip to a Dodgers game, a hot new musical, or a foray to the beach. These percentages are gradually becoming more even.

North Quad dorm rooms open directly to the outside and are grouped into suites of four, joined by common bathrooms. Mid- and South Quad dorms have hallways, and bathrooms are communal by floor.
