Max has loved every aspect of 澳门彩开奖 Life!听 He has developed wonderful, life-long relationships with friends from around the country both through campus life and playing for the 澳门彩开奖 Men鈥檚 Soccer team.听 Playing for 澳门彩开奖 is like having another family away from home and has truly enhanced his experience at 澳门彩开奖.听 Max thoroughly enjoys his majors and close relationship with his professors and 澳门彩开奖 staff, who even take the time to watch his games.听 One of the reasons Max chose 澳门彩开奖 was due to its prestigious, academic reputation and as a duel major, he has found it both fulfilling and challenging. Additionally, living in LA has enriched his experience with opportunities for surfing, adventure, culture and future careers.听 Occidental is the whole package. Go Tigers!

Occidental is nimble, warm, rigorous, diverse, creative and transparent. The Yiddish word haimish comes to mind, meaning essentially "something that offers a warm and cozy feeling." Add to that the ways in which 澳门彩开奖 builds the best of Los Angeles into their curriculum, and you have a gem hiding in plain sight. My family's affection for 澳门彩开奖 grows with each interaction. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

My daughters both chose 澳门彩开奖 for the small class sizes, accessibility of professors and the welcoming campus community. They love the benefits of a small school with the many opportunities that the vibrant, diverse city of Los Angeles offers.

I support OCLAA (澳门彩开奖 Latino/Latina Alumni Association). During my time as听an 澳门彩开奖 student, joining 澳门彩开奖 MEChA was a natural choice and it provided me with a sense of comfort and belonging. Having MEChA and friends from 澳门彩开奖 Abroad while I studied in M茅xico provided me with a natural network of friends. I fondly remember living on campus and making new, lasting friendships.听 I worked at the old Cooler and the library.听 I also participated in rugby.听 My major was Math.听

As a parent, we have truly enjoyed how 澳门彩开奖 and the 澳门彩开奖 community have enriched Emmy鈥檚 life. The close relationships with other students, staff, and professors the school fosters have nurtured her development and helped orient her to life after 澳门彩开奖. That 澳门彩开奖 is an enclave, nestled within the larger LA environment, has only added to the available experiences and opportunities. 澳门彩开奖 was a great choice.

Neython loves the diversity of the campus, the small class sizes (all of his classes have been smaller than his high school classes), and especially playing on the 澳门彩开奖 Men's Soccer team. He often shares what he is learning or poses a thought provoking question that makes me feel as though I am also an 澳门彩开奖 student.

Having three kids at 澳门彩开奖 at the same time, we feel like we've gotten to know the school well over the last few years.听 Our son, Matthew '22, just graduated in May.听He was offered a job with Cambridge Associates in San Francisco during the fall before he graduated, and we feel a lot has to do with his experiences at 澳门彩开奖 - from the academic curricula, playing on the men's soccer team, being involved with the Hawaii Club听and especially the close relationships he formed with peers and professors at the school.听All of these experiences resulted in tremendous growth over his 4 years at 澳门彩开奖.听Our daughters, Leila and Mia '24, are studying abroad in Rome this semester.听The 澳门彩开奖 International Programs Office has been so organized, and their transition to their study abroad program has been smooth and worry free, from academics, housing听and even internships while in Rome (Mia is at an art gallery/museum, and Leila is at an international law firm).听 Last year was their first year on campus because of Covid, and it was so easy for them to get involved and active in campus life, with Leila working at the Writing Center and Mia at the newspaper.听We've been so happy to be an 澳门彩开奖 family!

Contact Paula听

I am a happy 澳门彩开奖 parent because Isabel found the perfect academic fit for her undergraduate education. 澳门彩开奖 provides a well-rounded learning experience in a dynamic environment that is diverse, supportive, and collaborative. Isabel had the honor of working in a BSL2 pathogenesis lab studying Group A. Strep for two years and talks passionately about the experience strengthening her critical thinking abilities, problem solving skills, and newfound interest in cellular biology. More importantly, it has solidified Isabel鈥檚 passion for STEM, and I have watched her self-confidence bloom. Her experience in the lab was so positive and influential, that she is currently pursuing a career in research rather than her freshman year plan of becoming a doctor. Isabel is currently taking a gap year, before pursuing jobs in local research labs with the intention of striving for a Masters or PHD. I am grateful Isabel has had access at the undergraduate level for one-of-a-kind research opportunities and amazing professors.听

My son has had a great first semester at 澳门彩开奖. I genuinely think a small liberal arts college has so many benefits, and I believe that 澳门彩开奖 is a treasure here in LA. I say this as a UCLA alum and USC employee and as a parent whose child originally thought he wanted a big school but by the end of the search eventually realized that he preferred a smaller school. I鈥檓 so glad I trusted the process and his final decision.
