Occidental College
Occidental College offers students a unique combination of a rigorous academic program, small size, a diverse student body, and all the resources of Los Angeles. The college's interdisciplinary, hands-on approach to the liberal arts will challenge you to develop a wide range of skills. Their close-knit community truly makes it “an urban oasis.” Before transferring to Columbia, Barack Obama spent two years at Occidental College. President Obama told the L.A. Times in an e-mail he has "fond memories" of Occidental and that he's happy to have the school consider him an alumnus.
