Great school

Caltech is a great school if you are interested in Science, if not it can be a bit overwhelming.

Loved my experience

I have so far loved my experience at Caltech. So if you're truly excited about math and science (especially if you're excited about all kinds of it) and don't mind doing LOTS of it, you'll probably like it very much here.

Unmatched

There were a number of very positive aspects of life in Caltech, most of which had to do with academics and research.

Good atmosphere

Caltech has definitely pushed me to my limits. There were times when I called home crying because I didn't think I could make it, but in the end I'm always amazed by what I've accomplished.

Solid work ethic

The most important thing that Caltech taught me was a solid work ethic, good problem solving algorithms, and an understanding of my own limits.
