[Why Caltech?](https://www.admissions.caltech.edu/why-caltech)

*Why*  is easy: You can research with Nobel Prize winners, live in L.A., and see what happens when your curiosity is cultivated. But *why not* is just as important—because before you get in, you should know what you’re getting into.

Our Techer Talks give you a chance to meet students and ask questions. Want to learn more from an admissions officer? Register for a virtual information session. (We're Caltech. Of course you can do this online.) Want to check out campus in person? Join us for a tour or information session. It's the best way to see what we're about.

The best boba, the worst classes: Hear it from Techers, uncensored, in these blogs. Read about everything from researching in the Galapagos to what happens here on the weekend (more than studying, we promise).
