"Work Hard, Party Hard"

Introduction
Our unofficial motto is "Work Hard, Party Hard". Everyone here at CMC gears themselves to studying and learning as much as possible while still enjoying the pleasures of being an adolescent. CMC is a small school campus and student-body wise, but it is, however, part of a larger 5-college system in which all students can participate in. If you don't like sunny southern California weather for most of the year or having close interaction with your professors, then this is NOT the school for you. If, however, you plan on being active at school whether it be in clubs, politically, or socially, all while getting a great education, then this is the place for you.

Campus Life and Social Life
If you want to party here every night - there is always someone with a keg, playing beirut (also known as beer pong), or doing some sort of physical activity that includes drinking. Party nights are typically Thursdays and Saturdays at CMC - if you can't find something to do here, you can always hit up the 4 other campuses.

However, if you don't drink, night time activities are somewhat limited - there are your typical school sponsored parties in the local auditorium with a DJ spinning fresh beats and the occasional live music event with free food.

Weekends and weekdays kind of blend together as there is partying always going on.

Your typical high school sports to cheer on, such as football and basketball, do exist - for the most part they can be entertaining especially when playing rival Pomona. Advertisement
Academics
Except for those interested in the fine arts and science, there is something for everyone here at CMC. There is no real fine arts department, so you will have to take classes at Scripps or Pomona for that. The science department, or Joint Sciences, is shared by Scripps, Pitzer, and CMC students. Again you do have the option of taking classes at Pomona or Harvey Mudd (if you are up to the challenge of uber-hard classes).

CMC's strong (exceptionally strong) suits are its government and economics department, which is why many students come here in the first place. You have the option in your junior year of applying to study in Washington D.C. which is very popular among students. Students majoring in economics or econ-accounting go on to very plush jobs.

All classes are taught by professors - no such thing as TAs - and since CMC is a small school, there is a great deal of interaction with the professors in and out of class if you desire it. As our unofficial motto implies, students do get a lot of work here, but its all for a purpose.

Student Body
CMC is a somewhat conservative school, although the student body may consider itself liberal from time to time. There is no "typical" student - we get people from all walks of life. We all share the same passion of learning and getting the most out of our education.
