Pitzer continues to grow every year and is no longer “the baby” of the Claremont College Consortium. You know you’ve stepped foot on Pitzer’s campus when almost every student greets you with a smile, and has the drive and passion to change the world for the greater good. All students have their pet peeves and things they wish were different on campus, but, overall, students have enjoyed the five campus setup, the state-of-the-art Keck Joint Science Center, the political activism, the social responsibility, the study abroad opportunities, the friendships, the professors, and just about everything else. Surprisingly, although Pitzer is an extremely active campus politically, some are not big fans of the political activism that is played out. When it comes down to it, the only largely-accepted complaint is cost, which is understandable for one of the most expensive colleges in the nation. Yet, Pitzer offers relatively good financial aid that only continues to improve, as well as an array of work-study and non-work-study jobs and programs. For those that have to pay, it is a matter of how you use Pitzer. Pitzer can be a unique and exceptionally rewarding experience, or just the same as any other college education. If you take advantage of all the opportunities Pitzer and the Consortium offer, you honestly can’t put a price on it. For most Pitzer students, the idea of going to any other institution is inconceivable. The Pitzer community is like a second home for its students, and when the students get the time to just relax and have fun with their friends, they like to call it “Camp Pitzer.” Filter:

Marijuana but No Peer Pressure
A+
Marijuana is very popular at PItzer but there is no peer pressure if you don't choose to smoke. Drinking is popular on the weekend but not normally during the week. There are plenty of people who don't drink or smoke. |

A Community of Acceptance
A-
While the bulk of students at PItzer are white the school puts a strong value on diversity and acceptance. Any discrimination on the basis of race, class or sexual orientation would be actively condemned by the student community. |

A Beautiful Campus
A
The facilities at Pitzer are small but nice and very close to the dorms. As Pitzer is part of a consortium of colleges it is easy to use those of the other colleges. The library is incredible but located about a 10 minute walk from the campus. There are restaurants on campus but they tend to close earlier in the night than those of the other campus but its really nice to have options. The best part of the campus is the mounds, a stretch of small grassy hills located in the center of the campus. The mounds serve as a meeting place where people both study and relax with friends. Hammocks on the trees around the mounds are perfect for reading or passing the time on one of the beautiful sunny california days. |
