Computers
Every dorm has a computer lab with a printer, and you can always use he library's many computers. I've never had a problem finding an open one.

Generally Excellent Weather
It's southern California, so it's usually sunny and mild with temperatures in the 60's. At the very beginning and end of the school year it can get very hot, but it is never humid. One thing people don't expect from LA is that it can get really cold in the morning and at night. The weather is also hindered by LA's horrible smog.

Lacking
Oxy told me that they would meet all of my demonstrated financial need for school. They didn't tell me that that mostly meant student loans. I will graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in debt. If you have a very low income, financial aid is great, if you have a very high income, you can easily afford the school, but if you're somewhere in the middle... you're out of luck.

Sick of the Marketplace
Very very repetitive meals, only two places to eat on campus, and very limited healthy food options.

Eagle Rock Doesn't Care
The community honestly doesn't care much about Oxy; they're not involved in any Oxy events, and don't take in real pride in the college.
