UG admin says there is no smog in Pasadena. Are they overly optimistic?



I myself was very concerned with LA’s rumored smog last year. And while I haven’t been in enough US cities to give an overall assessment, I can honestly say that Pasadena has cleaner, better air than the Bay Area, where I’ve lived most of my life.

There’s virtually no smog until possibly summer. However, classes are ending around then anyways, and with the stifling heat, one wouldn’t want to go outside much anyways.

Basically, if one finds the air quality around Stanford suitable, they won’t have any complaints about Caltech.
