The party scene is ok, and there are social events for non-drinkers. Luckily student organizers push Davidson to go further. The student body's commitment to social justice is inspiring, but the administration thinks hosting panels and holding meetings to respond to racism is enough. Since it's a small school, they're available and they invest in students! They push us to think critically. Exit opportunities: plentiful, prosperous, and very accessible! Read 300 ReviewsĪlum: Most of my profs were great. 1-1 teaching sessions, research work with professors is easily attainable because professors care about their students. Academics: Williams is very strong because its professors take time to teach you the material. For someone who comes from a poor family whose total earnings are less than $30K/year, all this was an enormous benefit!. Other one-off expenses they covered: getting a visa, passport renewal, dental expenditures (over $10K). The College also pays for your medical insurance, ALL book expenditures, yearly round-trip to your home country (with all expenses). Apply even if you think you won’t get in! Financials: I am a recent alumnus from a foreign country who had to pay less than 3K per year(!) towards my education at Williams the rest was covered by non-repayable Williams grants. Read 500 ReviewsĪlum: TL DR: Williams is one of the best schools out there, especially for economically underprivileged and/or international students. That being said, the college is still very white and I hope the administration continues to better support students of color, international students, and first-gen college students. During my time at Carleton I do feel that the administration has demonstrated a commitment to increasing DEI on campus and in the Carleton community. While I'd give the college's faculty, student life, and campus 5 stars, I would give the college's diversity 3 stars. As a 2021 alum, my junior and senior years did not turn out the way I expected them to, but I was generally impressed with the faculty's efforts to keep our courses engaging and challenging. I believe that the social scene is what you make of it. available through the college and in Northfield. I am constantly in awe of the literal hundreds of student clubs, activities, events, opportunities, etc. The close-knit, supportive environment is truly unlike any other community I have been a part of.

It’s not uncommon for the department sponsoring your research project to also sponsor your attendance at research conferences including paying for hotel, airfare, and a food stipend! Last but most definitely not least, the advisors are passionate about your success and meet with students frequently. The campus encourages students to present their research across the nation at various conferences. I had the opportunity to pursue summer research projects and engage in a thesis project during my senior year. There are boundless opportunities to take courses both on campus or at any of the four other undergraduate Claremont Colleges that are all within a 1-mile radius, just a short walk or quick bike-ride away.
I was able to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics with peers who were similarly passionate. Read 407 ReviewsĪlum: Attending Harvey Mudd College was a humbling experience.
So glad to have had the opportunities and experiences that I did! My life shifted for the better because of Pomona.
Thanks to the CDO, I was able to land a great internship that legitimized my thesis research to a point where I was able to create valid policy solutions to address the problems I was trying to solve, which is why I chose Pomona in the first place. The alumni network is robust, and folks are always willing to lend a helping hand when it comes to connecting current students and other alums to jobs or people who can lift them up.
The Career Development Office in particular helped me perfect my job-hunting skills, and tailor my resume to ensure I was always putting my best, most relevant self out there. Alum: Aside from all of the aspects Pomona promotes as the reasons in favor of attending, I have to say that the relationships I forged with faculty, staff, and my fellow majors (Public Policy Analysis) contributed in large part to my success in undergrad and beyond.
