In our defense...Caltech has a drama group (TACIT), which performs two shows per year; there is a student-run One Acts show; we have a concert band and orchestra that are joint with Occidental, in addition to a bunch of chamber music groups of 3-5 students each; we have glee clubs and two coed a capella groups.

Our sports practices are no-cut, but for some of our more "competitive" sports (soccer and basketball), not everyone who is on the team plays in the games.

I agree that Caltech is def more narrow. MIT has strong deps in fields such as poli sci and a business school.

Caltech is strong in enough fields that it's not too narrow if you are certain that you will be pursuing science/engineering. I think the narrowness is a strength, btw.
