Review of Whittier College

from Los Angeles, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Most classes are small enough in which you are able to get to know your professor. Being in peer mentor groups in your first year help freshmen get to know others quickly. The financial aid staff help students with any questions or confusion they may have.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Taking a campus tour helps prospective students get a glimpse of their future college choice. Grades are not everything and remember to join clubs or sports or do volunteer opportunities that sets you apart from everyone else.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Entering college they do give students a good workload of homework in which students are constantly busy by it. The professors do give homework in which to prepare students for their specific major.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Students are able to live on campus, rent apartments from the school or live on their own that is within 25 miles. Freshman and Sophomores are usually grouped together in dorms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There is a cafeteria on campus in which students can eat by purchasing a meal plan. We also have a place called the Spot in which is a mini mart to buy different food selections. There are other food places that are within walking distance from the school.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are many things to do on and off campus. There are intramurals in which students can participate in and compete against others. Clubs plan trips to the beach, Disneyland, theater shows to get students to mingle with one another.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We are know for our famous Rock in which is usually spray painted for up coming events or by societies.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We have great campus safety. They are always patrolling and on guard for any situations that come up. They make sure everyone has their number just in case anything happens.
