- XFebruary 2, 2013Free Wi-Fi for the public using a guest network & there's no wifi password. Slow but usable. Many spots on campus have power outlets outside, so this is a great spot to work from if you're travelling.
- The Ritz-CarltonMarch 12, 2015Dating back to 1891, this campus is filled with amazing history - take the architectural walking tour offered the 4th Thursday of each month to learn more about the buildings.
I love the dozens of turtles in the terraced pond with ancient rocks just east of Millikan Library. But don't rich the turtles- supposedly they have salmonella all over them.
Kelley L.March 25, 2023Beautiful, peaceful campus. When in Pasadena, this is a great place to explore and take a walk.
Take your lunch by the Turtle Pond and relax thinking how many Nobel Laureates sat right there looking at the same things you are.
Los AngelesAugust 1, 2013Take the architecture tour! The entire school dates back to 1891. You'll learn a multitude of anomalies in the famed school's infrastructure.
It’s just a beautiful campus overall. They even have a turtle pond 🐢
Amanda VanDFebruary 15, 2011The M.E. Dept. has the BEST student competitions. Always different every year and pretty much open to anyone to watch. Always held at the end of Winter Term. (Must hunt down the exact details.)- Gordon MeiOctober 9, 2016Check out the turtles in Throop Memorial Garden, and the lily pads in the pools flanking the grassy Beckman Mall.
Nice place to walk. You can bring your dog so it's a good evening stroll.
The best school in the whole world! No other explanation!

"Quiet and serene place for reading, but there are lots of benches and idyllic places around the relatively small campus for a long read."
