Big Picture

Best thing about CMC: they care about their students and their futures! School size is just right for me, good class size, good relationships with your professors, you're not just a number you have a name. The village that's about a five minute walk away has some fun college hang out places, LA is only a 35 minute drive away. The campus brings so much to us there's almost no reason to leave.

Academic Life

Professors know you and always have time to meet with you whether it be about the class your taking or just to chat. Depending on your major there are students studying at all different times for all different amounts of time. I'm a bio major, we have a joint-science department with 2 of the other 4 colleges around us which makes for the resources of a university at a small liberal arts college. It's great! The GE's can seem a bit rigorous, some I still dont see a point in taking but it'll be nice to have some knowlegde in areas besides science.

Student Body

Clothing: anything from sweats and flip-flops to suits and heels, it's up to you. Very interactive community, very little class segregation. Doesnt matter if you're a freshman there's no reason you can't have senior friends. All different views with the ability to speak them all. Very accepting environment to everyone.
