I'm looking into engineering and tech schools, and Caltech seems pretty famous. But I'm not exactly sure where it's located. Can anyone let me know what city and state it's in?
Caltech, which is short for the California Institute of Technology, is located in Pasadena, California. Pasadena is in Los Angeles County, so while you're not in the heart of downtown LA, you're close enough to enjoy the city's amenities. This vibrant city offers a blend of cultural opportunities and natural beauty and the weather is also typically mild, which could be a great fit if you're partial to warmer climates. It's worth noting that Caltech's specific location offers a unique blend of academic opportunities given its proximity to other research and design institutions in Southern California.
