Over 90% of students live on campus for all four years, creating a vibrant residential community where academic and personal growth are deeply intertwined. The college is committed to global engagement, highlighted by its upcoming Center for Global Engagement, and is part of the Claremont Colleges consortium, offering students access to a wide range of resources and opportunities.
