This university has a beautiful campus. We don't have a park nearby, but this campus is even better than a park. I've also visited meetings and concerts here and have always had a good experience.

There's a Friday night beer garden in the summer at the Atheneum Club. You have to be a guest or member to attend, but it's a delightful Pasadena experience. The campus is beautiful, and with people eating and drinking and little kids running around playing on the greens -- it's one of my favorite summer experiences.

From the point of view of a tourist there is very little to see besides the pleasant atmosphere, the wonderful gardens and some precious buildings. But if you are not... More

Just walking the grounds of this place makes you feel smarter! Truly lovely setting, and to be able to play tennis at this place every week as I do, is a real privilege.
