Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Pitzer is a truly wonderful place filled with people who want to make a difference and embrace change. There does not exist one specific Pitzer student; rather, once on campus, you will be welcomed by a myriad of different personalities, opinions, and likes and dislikes. If there were to be a general consensus about the students at Pitzer, it would be that they are driven individuals who seek to make the world a better place. But Pitzer students could not do what they do alone. The student body is a reflection of a much bigger entity: the faculty, staff, administration, groundskeepers, dining hall workers, and everyone else who makes a contribution to the school help to unify it and make it the amazing place the students know it as today. The school has grown so much, and it has only been around since 1963! One can only imagine what immense changes are to come.

Most students enjoy their time at Pitzer and the Claremont Consortium as a whole, though some common complaints include the cost, the lack of school spirit, and the pretty tame party scene. If you look past all of this, though, you will inevitably see that being given the chance to study at Pitzer is the opportunity of a lifetime. Pitzer is not your average higher education institution; it offers unique opportunities such as traveling with your professor to do research or working closely with the administration to make the school the place you want it to be. You may come here for an education, but in reality, you're going to walk away with a whole lot more.

Not Enough Money? Don't Sweat It

Pitzer meets 100 percent of your financial need and if they somehow didn't give you enough, appeal to the financial aid office and they are usually willing to accomodate you or work out some sort of arrangement. If you really need more money, Career Services or Student Affairs will always be happy to point you in the right direction.

No Car? Better Not Have Fancy Taste Buds.

A lot of kids order Dominos or go to the 24 hour Santana's Restaurant nearby, but if you are impressing a girl or taking your folks to dinner, then you're best off driving 40 minutes to Los Angeles and eat some of the best food in the country. Middle ground? Yes. Buca Di Beppo is fantastic and will feed you more than your money's worth.

Are You Kidding Me?

Gorgeous. Always. When it JUST starts to get too hot in the summer, it's time to leave and go home. There is nothing better than So Cal weather.
