Dining
Caltech students are serious about food! In fact, there is an entire student committee dedicated to making sure students are happy with their dining selections. On weekends, students have the opportunity to eat off campus through a meal allowance, and they often take advantage of the many restaurants within walking distance on Lake Avenue.
