Built in the 60'S
I would love to get a health code inspector to inspect my current dorm room. Built in the year the school was built (1967), it shows. In fact my boyfriend just spent half an hour folding pieces of paper and shoving them between the windows so our window would should properly, and then when he went to close it, the screw that holds the window shut broke right off the windowpane. The bathroom are bacteria ridden, which has nothing to do with the cleanliness of the people living here because I deep clean everything on a weekly basis. The ceilings are made of asbestos and all air vents have a layer of mold at least one centimeter thick. There are minimal outlets in the rooms. We had to buy our own blinds, because facilities does not supply or install those. The walls are paper thin and people have no regard for others who are trying to sleep or do homework. Any party that is going on outside can be heard from any location on campus. Even a simple conversation below your window seems like a conversation happening in your own room. Doors constantly squeak, and locks are often broken. The new dorms are for freshmen only. They were built in 2008 and are obviously the only dorm room they show prospective students on the campus tour. In order to build even new dorms, Pitzer demolished an acre of California wildlife fauna. The athletic room is a joke, with mostly broken machines. A lot of your parent's money goes to maintaining a natural facade of native plant-life. Even with constant rain, plants are watered daily and replanted monthly throughout the entire campus. Laundry rooms are disgusting and are cleaned only over the summer. The place to pour the detergent is always clogged in every machine at all times. There used to be beautiful student done work all over the buildings, but one by one, maintenance tears them down or paints over them even though every piece was approved by an aesthetics committee.
