If you’re reading this post, then that means you are considering Occidental as one of your college choices. Three years ago, I was in your position, and quite frankly, I didn’t know what to expect from a school in Los Angeles, let alone Oxy.
Hi everyone! My name is Claire, and I just finished my first year at Oxy.
Getting involved in summer research was the best decision I made as a student at Occidental College.
The summer is always an odd time for a college student.
Hello readers, my name is Chloe and I’m a rising junior at Occidental.
Instead of studying for exams and writing papers during finals week, I started off the first week of May and my summer in Venice, Italy.
I sit here in my room on a Saturday afternoon, thankful that I was able to sleep in; it’s been awhile since I was last able to do so!
My first year of college at Occidental was dedicated to trying various classes from a variety of different majors as well as taking classes that would fulfill my core requirements.
There is a general ebb and flow of life on campus as you move upwards from being a first year to being a senior.
