Is Caltech a boring place to be at?

Are there parties? Sexy chicks? fun people? I’ve come to realize academics aren’t everything and connecting with people are as important



I’ll just point out that a very academic setting may actually help you connect with people. For instance, I’m sure there are some of us guys who’d say a girl who studies physics quite well and makes just some attempt to look good would be very attractive. Some would also describe an engineer passionate about his studies, and somewhat outgoing and friendly to be very fun, even if he doesn’t party very much. It largely depends on who you’re looking to connect with! By nature, many human beings are social, and even if there may be the few who’d prefer sticking to quantum computing and forget about people at least largely, I don’t think that’s going to be the norm anywhere.
