  • We went on a self-guided campus tour - the gardens and open spaces were open to visitors. This has to be one of the most beautiful places to study and learn. We really enjoyed touring. The campus is sprawling and very nature-oriented. The turtle pond is a must-see, given its historical significance! You can read about it in the Self-guided tour online.
  • California Institute Of Technology is the greatest learning institution on the planet. My personal experience with doctors, teachers, students, alumni and researchers is extraordinary. The campus is beautiful and massive. Located in a prestigious area of South Pasadena, the campus is home to sprawling buildings, gardens, laboratories and understated California architectural masterpieces. If you decide to tour the campus, check out the turtle ponds, the library and the newest additions to the campus, neuroscience and molecular biology research centers. I always get a special feeling walking around the campus having been exposed to the work being done here, big breakthroughs in science, math, medicine and technology happen every day. This university is beautiful, but what's inside, and what comes out of here, is extraordinary. If your mission is changing the world for the better, finding cures, searching for the answers to life's greatest challenges, and saving lives, visit, register, study and volunteer at Cal Tech.
