A group of Poly juniors from Pamela Amici’s AP Calculus class went on a private field trip to CalTech for a tour on Thursday, April 7.
“We basically learned about campus life and the different types of classes offered, and the different ways you can set up your college experience,” said junior Stefana LoTempio. “I thought it was a lot of fun; before this I hadn’t even considered CalTech as an option, but after seeing the campus and everything, I’d like to apply.”
The tour was not incredibly in depth academically, but it provided a window into the life of the students. The juniors went through the different housing areas, got a look at the scenery of the campus, and ended up at the cafeteria.
“It was pretty cool. It was small but it was interesting because they have different areas based on different interests so you can choose which house based on which group you fit into best,” said LoTempio.
Amici had organized the tour specifically for her junior students. Through her contacts to the college she was able to get them a private tour of the campus in order to introduce them to the university.
