The kind of person that shouldn't attend Westmont is someone who likes to party alot, drink or use drugs. Westmont is a dry campus and you are not even suppose to be drinking if you are off campus. Also Westmont requires a decent amout of time for studying, or working on classwork/homework, so if a student wants mostly free time in college i wouldn't recomment this school. This college is relatively small compared to others out there, so if a certain individual was looking for a larger campus, this wouldn't be the right one.
