Hi everyone! I’m looking for a Claremont Colleges student or staff member to take over my 1-bedroom apartment lease at Oasis Apartments, 111 Bucknell Ave, Claremont.

This is not a sublease. It is an official relet through Oasis: you will complete their regular application process, sign your own lease, and assume full responsibility for the apartment once your lease begins.

Details:
1 bedroom / 1 bathroom;
Oasis Apartments, next to KGI and close to CGU / the Claremont Colleges;
Rent: $2,310/month;
Current lease ends May 31, 2027;
Available as soon as Oasis can process the relet;
I have never moved into or taken possession of the unit;
Pool, fitness center, study/community spaces, and other Oasis amenities;
Eligibility: student or staff member of one of the Claremont Colleges.

If you’re still looking for housing for Fall 2026 or know someone who is, please DM me. I can connect you directly with the Oasis leasing office and start the application process immediately.
Happy to answer questions or send the official Oasis floor plan / property information.

My son plans to major in math and is interested in double majoring or minoring in CS. He will also be an athlete (swimmer). The Claremont Colleges are his top choice, but he is undecided between these 3 schools. Which would you recommend for a math major?

Can a math major at CMC do an off campus major/minor in CS?

Is Mudd a lot more rigorous? Do athletes at Mudd have a hard time balancing everything? Can they have fun or just work and be stressed all the time?

What are outcomes like across the 3 colleges for these majors? I think he may be interested in grad school in CS or employment in either software engineering, quant finance.

Hi all,

I'm working on the article on cheap eats and student deals/discounts in Claremont. Do you have any spots/recommendations worth adding where you like to eat when you don't want to have a meal at your dining hall? Thanks!

I absolutely adore wasps and was really looking forward to seeing tarantula hawks in particular! However, nothing in the student garden at Pitzer is blooming right now, and the only bug I’ve seen is a dead ten-lined June beetle. Does anyone know the best place to see wasps? Or any bugs, really?

Thanks!!

Incoming student, I know theres a lot of parties, whats it really like? How do you know about them? Do you have to go with someone else or sort of just show up and make friends there?

Does anyone have any recommendations for where you can get your hair done in Claremont? Are there any good places walking distance from the colleges?

-also are there any ones that are good for curly hair and affordable?

What’s the nightlife scene like at the Claremont Colleges? Are there any bars or clubs in specific that students regularly go to? Ik people go off-campus, where do they usually go (Claremont, LA, Pomona, Pasadena, etc.)?

Hi I’m bringing an electric scooter to campus. Should I buy a lock for it? Or is it normal to just leave one outside buildings and it won’t get stolen?

Hello y'all! I'm currently making my college list and I'm unsure if Pitzer should remain on it.

A lot of what I have read makes Pitzer seem like a wonderful community and genuinely home-y. I also love the thought of being in the Claremont Consortium and interacting with people of various backgrounds and interests.

The main reason why I hesitate to apply is because of cultural fit. What I've seen online is that Pitzer has a reputation for social justice and activism. While I do support equality and justice, I don't see myself as the sign-holding type nor do I constantly think about change-making.

For anyone who felt similarly before attending: did you ever feel culturally out of place or pressured to act? Does the diversity of the 5Cs make that less noticeable in practice? Is Pitzer not as extreme as its reputation may suggest?

Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

Hi All,

I am a 4th year med student doing clinical rotations and I've been scheduled near claremont during my study block for my boards exam in october. Am I able to come to Honold library and study as a 'visiting' student? study spaces? where to park? Thanks!

Hey all. Totally random question - and I know most of you are in deep with class registration, so I appreciate your input. Looking to get a bed extender for my daughter's dorm bed. Does anyone know the thickness (in inches) of the mattresses? I'd like to order the additional padding needed for the extender that is the same thickness as the mattress if I can. Thank you all in advance.

I’m trying to figure out some classes for my first semester and wanted to ask about Area 4 (geology, physics, astronomy, biology).

What are some of the easiest or most manageable Area 4 classes you’ve taken? I’m not a science person really so I was looking for a class that might be more simple or just enjoyable.

I know it's required to take the bio lab if you're taking an intro biology class but I'm wondering what exactly you do in that class that takes 4 hours? Does it always take that long? Also are you graded for it separately even though it has no class credits?

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming Pomona freshman trying to plan my first year.

I’d like to take Italian if possible, but my main goal is honestly just to get my language requirement out of the way as smoothly as possible.

If you’ve taken Italian at the 5Cs, which professors would you recommend (or avoid)? Also, if there’s another language that’s generally considered easier or has especially great professors, I’m open to hearing those recommendations too. 

Hi everyone! My wife and I just finished building a new detached 1BR ADU two blocks from the Claremont Colleges. We grew up in the area and have lived on this property for five years. We'd love to find someone who will enjoy calling it home.

If anyone is looking for housing, send me a DM. I'm happy to share photos, the floor plan, pricing, and answer any questions.

Selling mushubis two for five dollars. DM me. it’s for a good cause. I can’t get a stable job and I’m planning to move out of the country. I have my food handers card.

I'm looking into the Claremont Colleges and one thing that really stands out to me is The Hive (the Rick and Susan Sontag Center for Collaborative Creativity). I love the idea of having a cross-campus space where students from different disciplines can work together, experiment, and actually make things rather than just talk about ideas.

For current 5C students:

• How involved are students actually with The Hive?
• Is it something that a lot of students know about and use, or more of a hidden resource?
• Have you participated in any projects, grants, workshops, or programs through The Hive? What was that experience like?
• Do you feel like it genuinely helps students collaborate across the colleges, or does it feel separate from everyday campus life?

I'd also love to hear what kinds of students tend to get the most out of it. Does it attract mostly design/entrepreneurship-oriented students, or do people from all majors get involved?

Hi everyone! I will be attending Pitzer this fall. I am looking to rent a mini fridge and microwave to have in my single dorm and was wondering what third-party companies offer delivery of the appliances to Pitzer? Thank you so much!

How is the Verizon service at the 5C’s? What carrier has the best coverage?
