Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Pitzer is located in beautiful Southern California, where there is no lack of sun—that's for sure. Idyllically situated at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, Pitzer's location offers the best of both worlds for students who love sun and snow. Mount Baldy is only a few minutes away from campus, and students often venture to the top for some skiing or snowboarding during the winter. For the majority of the months during the year, though, Pitzer students are all about the sun.

There is no shortage of beaches in Southern California; it is only a matter of taking your pick on which one to visit. If you don't want to leave campus, you can enjoy the wonderful weather by lounging at the Gold Student Center pool, or hanging out and tanning on the Mounds. The heat can get overwhelming, though, especially during the beginning months of school. Move-in day is always the worst, with temperatures often reaching above and beyond 100 degrees. During the winter and early spring, nights can become very chilly due to the desert landscape, so be sure to pack a sweatshirt or jacket along with your sunglasses and flip-flops!

Sunny

The weather is always warm and sunny. In winter, it's about 60 to 80 degrees. Very comfortable weather, and does not affect campus experience.

Pitzer's Climate Motivates You to Go to Class

What can I say? We're in Southern California. A day in mid-December can be sunny and 75 degrees, and you could go to class in flip flops. This is one of the most inviting features of campus. The good weather here keeps students excited and animated, and motivates students to get out of their rooms and out to class, or to go play sports or enjoy other outdoor activities.
