【超自由！？】全米トップのリベカレに行ってみた！【Pomona College + Claremont College】
In this Japanese campus‑tour video, host SPEAKER B walks through Pomona College with fourth‑year student Mori Asaka, an economics major with a math minor. They begin at the Roberts Pavilion, explaining that its name comes from a wealthy private‑security founder whose large donation funded the building. A recurring motif at Pomona is the number 47, which appears in building names, T‑shirts, schedules, and even the way professors write “Math” (M 47 h). The tour continues past sports fields, noting that the campus offers lacrosse, occasional soccer, and scenic mountain views for practice. Asaka describes the campus’s varied facilities—some rooms have air‑conditioning, others don’t, and sunlight differs by location—making room assignments feel like a lottery. The conversation shifts to student life: Pomona attracts a highly diverse body, including many affluent families, and this diversity creates a rich exchange of values. Asaka highlights the close, informal relationships with professors, small class sizes (about 25 students), and the ability to become a research assistant as early as freshman year, even co‑authoring papers. An anecdote about a “Taylor Swift” voting hack that secured a concert illustrates the playful, tech‑savvy culture. Overall, Asaka expresses enthusiasm for Pomona’s freedom, academic opportunities, and community, concluding that the college’s mix of wealth, diversity, and supportive faculty makes it a uniquely rewarding environment.
