A stunning campus full of buildings with interesting architecture (some old colonial, some 60s contemporary, some stunning modern) and glorious grounds to walk around. Amazing range of trees and some cool spots to sit like near the turtle pond. Good parking on campus. Tremendous place to walk and there seems to always be a breeze.

The Caltech Campus is a great place for a Sunday walk. The buildings, fountains and landscaping are spectacular. The Athenaeum is the finest hotel in Pasadena. Albert Einstein lived in one room. The Beckman Auditorium has multiple noteworthy events open to the general public. During non-school hours parking is free and there are pay per the hour meters available in the parking structures during regular hours. The school bookstore has interesting unique items related to science. It also has a NASA JPL section. Caltech has various seminar series that are open to the general public which I found very educational. Exploring the campus reveals "Caltech" things like the fountain tiles at the entrance to Moore Laboratory with schematic diagrams. Caltech underground has a series of tunnels connecting various buildings that bring back WWII and cold war memories. I viewed the new supercomputer on a recent visit. Watching amazing trick plays by the Football Team or visiting the Seismological Laboratory can round off your visit to this great campus. Be careful, Caltech has a cannon that could vault you over the top of the nearby building.

A beautiful place to walk around, with many exhibits. Take a free historical tour. See where many famous scientists lectured, and lecture now, and where many famous discoveries were, and are being, made. Attend a public lecture. Visit the cafeteria, bookstore, and libraries. Filming location for several movies and TV series, including Big Bang Theory.

Nice spacious campus, a small community but very vibrant. Nice place to study in. Campus is close knitted and warm.

There's a Friday night beer garden in the summer at the Atheneum Club. You have to be a guest or member to attend, but it's a delightful Pasadena experience. The campus is beautiful, and with people eating and drinking and little kids running around playing on the greens -- it's one of my favorite summer experiences.

Had to visit the seting of my favorite TV show. Hoped to see Nerds in their natural habitat but I guess I will have to tune in to the TV show for that

The campus is a gem, interesting fountains created from millions of years old boulders from the surrounding hills. If you have access or a chance to stay or eat at the Faculty Club, called The Athenauem, be sure and do it. Einstein and many other luminaries lived here. Very upscale and classic spot.

One of the little known treasures in Pasadena is the free architectural and historical campus tour of Caltech. The Caltech Architectural Tour Service (CATS), a branch of the Caltech Women's Club, offers free public tours on the 4th Thursday of the month, except during July and August. Tours may be also scheduled by special request.The tour covers the history of Caltech, its founders, and how the early campus architecture reflected Pasadena and the academic research that took place inside the buildings. See exquisite historical buildings with stunning ceilings, mosaics, and richly detailed finishes. For more information check www.its.caltech.edu/archtour/CATS/Welcome.html.

5.15.2014 - Students Ditch Day: clusters of students in T-shirts, shorts, funny hats, held signs, marched peacefully all over campus. Amusing ! Who would have thought brainiacs and nerds are up to antics like that! They took over the pool too.5.17 & 5.18.2014 was Caltech Alumni Weekend. So encouraging to see so many Alumni members gathering to celebrate and share experiences. Many of them were senior citizens hunched over their walkers, shuffling along. Noted that some go way back from the class of 1020s. Wow! I marvel at their loyalty and enthusiasm. Spring was very much in the air - the Jacaranda trees were in full bloom, so were the water lilies. Mallards were swimming in the turtle ponds and the reflecting pools. Check out my photos. Saw an exquisite Indian dance "Abhaya" performed by kalAlayam at the Ramo Auditorium.
