Move In & Transition Details

Below you will find important information regarding new student move in.

  • Getting Yourself Here

    By Plane | We recommend flying into Ontario International Airport, located six miles east of Claremont, rather than Los Angeles International Airport. Rideshare services are available to and from the airport.

    By Automobile | The Claremont Colleges are easily reached from either Interstate 10 or 210 Freeway.

    Parking | Once you have entered the College grounds via Ninth Street, park in East Mesa parking lot, the first lot on your right.
