<p>Hi,
I've been considering applying to Occidental College and I was wandering how the community life was. Are the people nice ?
Do you all know each other or is it more of a we meet new people everyday kind of campus?
As for the studies, is it possible to have a job on the side or something or is it hard to deal with studies and work ? </p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>i’m not a current student, but i’m very familiar with the school…</p>
<p>“Are the people nice?” very friendly</p>
<p>“Do you all know each other or is it more of a we meet new people everyday kind of campus?” probably a bit of both. it’s a small liberal arts school that gets familiar, but you’ll still meet new people, as there are like 2000 kids. </p>
<p>“As for the studies, is it possible to have a job on the side or something or is it hard to deal with studies and work?” i’m sure it’s possible. studies are rigorous, but unless you plan on working like mad, i think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>based on my visit to the campus, it was a vibrant live atmosphere. People seemed very happy and the food looked good!</p>
<p>As with any college, work is hard but you should be fine with a prt time job</p>
