Caltech University is a nice institution with a beautiful campus. The faculty is large compared to the size of the undergraduate student body, leading to many opportunities to participate in research projects early in your career. Caltech is a four-year not-for-profit school. They have a bachelor’s degree, a Master’s degree, a post master’s certificate, and a doctor’s degree. They offer campus housing and the student population is 2,233 with 948 being undergraduates. The student ratio is 3 to 1. Caltech's education is strong on theory. The school is well known for the selectivity of its admissions process. The endowment is large, and the financial support policy aims to ensure that no student who earns admission will be unable to attend for financial reasons. It's a wonderful environment for the right student, namely one more concerned with working hard and learning a lot than with building one's network and partying.
Caltech has the unique position of having small classes taught by a surplus of excellent researchers who are all leaders in their respective fields. High teaching loads do not burden professors because the undergraduate population is limited, all classes are small, and they only need to teach throughout their tenure occasionally — nothing like taking courses from motivated professors who are not burned out by the grind of repetitive teaching. If one is considering grad school, one can get a great head start at Caltech. They mostly offer Stem courses which include engineering mathematics, science etc.
Caltech is quite expensive, but almost everyone receives financial aid or grants to attend Caltech. Caltech is around $72,000 a year. For undergraduates, 60% receive financial aid while for graduate students as much as 99% do (you can pretty much assume that the 1% who do not receive it don’t need or want it). Caltech gives you a financial aid calculator with the admissions packet, so if you get in, you know at least what ballpark your tuition fees will be, though nothing is concrete until you get the official offer of financial aid from Caltech.
