Whittier College

As an Institution:

  • Many of Whittier's faculties, especially residential life, is unorganized and will not hesitate to treat you like crap in order to fix their own mistakes
  • >>I was denied my paycheck several times because of their mistakes, I was also falsely accused of a crime and forced to pay for it, and these are only the worst of my experiences.

  • The college offers a very unique array of education options and classes, some being great some being horrible.
  • Cafeteria food is consistently bad
  • Social Life

    Here is the breakdown..

  • Most people can get away with less than an hour of homework and studies a day which leaves them incredibly bored.
  • Since you need a car and gas money to enjoy LA most people don't bother to make that a habit.
  • The surrounding city of Whittier is only good for shopping and eating out and mediocre shops and restaurants. The town is not nice enough to simply enjoy walking through.
  • The extracurriculars are lame providing only a few actually entertaining events a year—So what most of the students end up doing,(all the social ones)is getting drunk and helplessly searching for parties or just enjoying the lame ones that are put on near-by and are busted by cops by midnight or getting high every single day.
  • I tried to find other fun things to do, but a car is absolutely necessary
  • As very social and amiable freshmen I went a total of 2 good parties that did not get busted by cops, but I went out every single weekend because the schoolwork required practically no commitment. Almost every weekend ended in frustration because I couldn't find anything fun to do.
