Ciera Fleming – Kapolei, Hawaii
During my senior year of high
school I was constantly going to information sessions for the colleges that
visited my school, but Pitzer’s stood out the most. Being from Hawaii, I had
never heard of Pitzer until the morning before the information session when my
college counselor told me that it would be a great fit for me. I was hesitant
to add another college to my long list but I quickly fell in love with the core
values that matched many of my own, and I knew that I had to apply.
Once it finally came down to making
a decision, I was between two very different schools: Pitzer and a school on
the east coast. So I decided to attend Pitzer’s admitted students day to make
my final decision. I remember walking into the dining hall for dinner, nervous
as I walked through a sea of unknown people. But as I sat with a group of other
prospective students, a Pitzer senior that was not a part of the program sat
down with us to answer any questions that we had. Every person that I met was
so excited to tell me about their Pitzer experience and everything they loved
about it. I had never experienced so much kindness and warmth at any other
school that I had been too and I knew I would probably not find such a unique
environment anywhere else. I loved the weather, the food and most of all the
people. I could tell right away that everyone was just happy to be at Pitzer
and I knew that I had finally found where I fit.
