I've had similar experiences, a few nerdy d-bags but also one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and a basketball player, Reggie Love.....good dude. Met Duhon and had to rub the 2004 victory in a little bit.
Remember the time North Carolina dudes tea bagged reggie love when he passed out at a frat? Good times.
He sure doesn't write like it. Figures.
Can't say I do?!??
Yikes, thought you were kidding. I never saw the humor in that sort of stuff. Reminds me of the disturbing video of the Alabama fan assaulting the passed out LSU fan.
I went to Pomona (when Gregg Popovich was our basketball coach - for real) and still live in LA. Things are certainly different than when I went there, but it's one of if not the best small liberal arts schools in the country. Westwood is much closer to the ocean so that's why the swings are less. 40+ miles makes a big difference. Malibu to Agoura Hills is less than 15 miles and the temperature difference can easily be more than 30 degrees in the summer (like 68 to 105). But compared to CT, Claremont, CA is pretty awesome all year round. The downtown (called Clareville) is really cool - make sure you check it out when you visit. I would imagine if Pomona is on your list, you are also going to see Claremont McKenna and Occidental, although Occidentals surroundings aren't nearly as nice. Probably wouldn't hurt to put Pepperdine on the list as well. I would say the most gorgeous college campus in the country if you (he) are (is) OK with the very Christian focus of the school. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about Pomona and/or Claremont. I would guess that @Gurleyman could provide even more relevant information than I can.
Tell me it was Walters and you had either the lamb and feta or ratatouille omelette.
If they have an Arby's August has been there.
Basically, looking at schools with good pre-med programs and good financial aid. Pomona appeared to be the best west coast liberal arts option. He is not set on an actual major but likes Physics as one possibility. I like the Claremont schools due to the ability to take classes at the sister schools like Harvey Mudd for Physics. One interesting option that popped up is Rice. Another major that interests him is exercise science or Kinesiology and Rice is one of the best schools that offers it. It may be a little too hot though as he likes to run.
But they are all full of those disgusting people you rail against on here daily.
Yes, that too.
It is interesting. On one hand you would think their desire for geographic diversity would make it easier for east coast kids. On the other hand, yield is a big deal to these schools and kids to tend to stay close to home. The question is, would applying early action negate the yield issue? Probably not as it is non-binding at Stanford.
Reggie Love was the commencement speaker at my high school graduation. He went to the same HS as me in Charlotte
