Diversity Grades:
College Prowler Take
Pitzer College is about as diverse as a private liberal-arts college gets. Some students complain that socio-economic diversity is lacking, but most agree that Pitzer tries its best. Students enjoy intercultural interactions and learning; in fact, Pitzer College emphasizes this within their educational program. Some students still gripe, but in truth, Pitzer is a small world populated with a plethora of races, religions, cultures, gender identities, and everything else. Being a Pitzer College student is a living cultural education. Whether you consider yourself cosmopolitan or a cultural virgin, you will learn a tremendous amount. The cultural learning that goes on at Pitzer will teach aspects of life that can’t be taught in the classroom. A few students miss out on this experience by firming cliques, but many have experienced a heightened cultural awareness. Assimilation into this world of cultural learning is a slow, but amazing experience. Students Speak Out

A Way of Life...
A-
Pitzer stresses and embraces diversity. The students are naturally accepting of pretty much any differences, and believe that is what makes the school so vibrant. But if you are a Republican, keep it to yourself!

Campus Diversity
B
It seems as if Pitzer has primarily white students. However, the economic background varies. Many students are on financial aide and several students are not. Pitzer tends to be a very politically liberal student body, but there still are a fair amount of concervatives on campus. Pitzer also has a relatively large Jewish population.

Diversity Does Exist
A-
There is an astounding amount of diversity at Pitzer. There is the standard quota for minority populations, around 30% are underrepresented ethnic groups. There are also a wide range of socioeconomic groups and people with amazing different skills. Everyone is unique, and we don't try to form a homogenic mass of college students.
