Pitzer is not for everyone. You have to put in the effort to find your niche, but when you do, it really is a fantastic school. The 5Cs are a totally unique system with amazing resources if you know how to use them. That being said, not every program is the strongest, so beware.

Pitzer College is a fantastic school. It has a prestigious reputation, the faculty are warm and nurturing, the dining hall is organic/free range and tasty, there are very few academic requirements for graduation which allows students to explore interests, and it's liberal. The students can be snotty, but otherwise is an excellent school.
