Nonexistant

Pitzer and the 5Cs are so small that everyone just gets around by biking and walking usually. The only public transportation around is the Metrolink in the Village, which is good for getting into LA and the surrounding area.

We're Not So Big on Athletics

Athletics makes up a minority of Pitzer students. However, you can participate in sports with the neighboring colleges.

Weed and Booze

Take up most all of the partying on campus. Impossible to live in any dorm without smelling weed at one point or another, even in the substance free wings of the dorms.
