Is Caltech a boring place to be at?

Yes, there are at least 8 big parties a year (interhouse parties), and plenty of smaller parties. Each house also has more of their own events and stuff like that. You can always throw a party yourself too.

It’s easy to find people to hang out, chill, have a bbq with etc. But if you just sit in your room all day, you won’t be having much fun. Those periods do happen, usually when you’re really stressed out, but because of the kind of place Caltech is, usually you’ll end up getting dragged out of your room sooner or later.

About sexy chicks. Pasadena, and southern California in general, has some of the hottest girls around. If you mean does the campus have a bunch of girls who do theoretical physics while modeling on the side? Maybe one or two. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

One thing though. If you only find math and science “interesting,” you might not be cut out for Caltech. I find art “interesting.” I sincerely enjoy math and science.

If all you want are parties, sexy chicks, and fun people, there are a lot of places where you can get those, and have a lot more free time to pursue them.
