One of the reasons
I chose to come to Pitzer is its location.
I would say 99% of the liberal arts colleges I looked at were in the
middle of nowhere…. until I looked at Pitzer.
I love that Pitzer is within Los Angeles County, but forty-five minutes away
from the actual city. This way you get a
nice, quiet and safe place to attend school and access to one of the biggest
cities in the world. It also makes
Pitzer a school where people emphasize community: Pitzer is not a suitcase
school. We do explore the area, but we
tend to do it together. For the next few
weeks I am going to tell you about my favorite places to go in Los
Angeles. This week is West LA.
If
you talk to any of my friends, they will tell you that I am in Love with Santa
Monica. It is the perfect balance of beachy,
city and artsy. Not to mention the food
is amazing. At the beginning of the
semester a few friends and I ventured to the Santa Monica Farmers Market where
I ate the best Panini I have ever had in my life and washed it down with some
coconut water, out of a real coconut.
After I finished that we hit the beach were we boogie boarded,
sun-bathed, surfed and swam. If was a
nice treat and a really great spot to do some school work. I mean who doesn’t want to do their homework on
the beach?!
What I love most about Santa Monica
is that is also right next to Venice. Specifically,
I really love to go shopping on Abbot Kinney Blvd. There are tons of really unique shops and some
head turning street art. It is a fun
atmosphere weather you are just trying to window shop and hang out or buy
something. Personally I am more of the
window-shopping kind of gal because the prices are pretty high over there.
