CalTech

After we learned all about AGN, we downloaded software called APT off the Spitzer website to help us do our research over the next few days. After the software download, we were done with work for the day. We took a tour of the CalTech campus, which is where Spitzer Space Center is located. It is a very beautiful campus. CalTech is one of the few colleges that has more graduate students than undergrad students. It is mostly for sciences only. There are two buildings for humanity courses, and then mostly everything else are science related courses. I found it especially interesting that women have only been allowed to recieve an education from CalTech for a few couple of decades. It was a men only college for the longest time, and until recently women were not allowed to attend. To this day, it still has a majority of males, which also makes it unique from most colleges where women tend to dominate. On a random side note, I would love to go to grad school here.....
