Is Caltech a boring place to be at?

Caltech is nothing like high school.

Kamikaze does a good job of summarizing the rest.

While Caltech does have a decent social atmosphere (I definitely wouldn’t call it antisocial) it’s not the typical college environment. Most entering freshmen have not seriously dated, very few have had alcohol before, etc.

The best way to figure out if Caltech is right for you is to visit and talk to a bunch of different students. You’ll realize very quickly if it’s somewhere you want to be.
