    Am learning a lot

    Pitzer College as well as the entire Claremont Colleges offers many opportunities and resources including the Claremont Consortium, the Keck Joint Science Center, Student Health Services and others. Students also have the opportunity to create their own major if they feel Pitzer doesn't offer what their looking for. The professors are great and willing to help students.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is the smallest out of the Claremont Colleges, but it's beautiful. Right next to the San Bernadino mountains, the freshman dorms are only 2 years old and eco-friendly. Pitzer has native plants around campus and the entire campus is eco-friendly. Most people are friendly, the staff is awesome and living on campus is terrific.
    Bang for the buck

    Even though Pitzer is pretty expensive, the opportunities and experiences students receive is priceless.
    Tips for prospective students

    Have an open mind and enjoy the college experience to the fullest. Don't over exert yourself.
    Great for these types of students

    Hard-working, goal-oriented, eco-friendly, students looking to get the feel of a large school in a smaller setting

    Am learning a lot

    Arriving at Pitzer I was frightened and excited to attend classes. For the first couple of weeks I was astonished and overwhelmed by all the work required for each class. At the end of the semester, through all the intensive hours of emerging myself in each topic, I feel like I learned so much. I feel confident in each topic I studied and am capable of sharing, and teaching them to others.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy my stay at Pitzer everyday a little more. The only downside is that it is far from Illinois where I grew up, but that is easily overlooked by all the easy going people on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Attending Pitzer is expensive, but it is worth every penny because their are so many resources available. You have instant access to Teachers and faculty members. Classes are challenging and have a 12:1 student ratio that allows you to connect with teachers not just be another student in the college.
    Tips for prospective students

    The one tip I would like to emphasize is that college is no joke, and even though it is very fun hard work is awaiting you. Lastly, is that you should visit colleges before attending them because when I visited Pitzer I changed my mind on where I wanted to spend four years of my life at.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for people that are interested in non profit organization, the environment, but also their is a broad range of people because of all five colleges that allow you to pursue any career.
