Student Life
Campus life
Nestled in the hills of Los Angeles’ Eagle Rock community and replete with natural beauty, the Occidental campus is both peaceful and a place of palpable energy.
Though downtown is mere miles away, our picturesque campus defies the stereotype of an urban college. Ranked the sixth "Most Beautiful" college campus by Newsweek, we reside on 120 acres studded with century-old oak and eucalyptus trees, graceful arches, and halls built in the Spanish Colonial style.
Between the Academic Commons and the Johnson Student Center, the Academic Quad is the heart of campus, where trees provide shade for study, conversation, and contemplation.
Sports facilities
The De Mandel Aquatics Center, McKinnon Family Tennis Center and Robinson Family Terrace will have a signicant impact on athletes, the campus and the community as a whole.
We are grateful to our many generous supporters for bringing this long-awaited project to completion and for helping us build new, beautiful facilities for our student-athletes and the greater Oxy community.
Student clubs
Associated Students of Occidental College (ASOC) is for the students! Every student paying student fees is a member of the ASOC. ASOC student government is comprised of two elected sections (Senate and Honor Board), and 2 appointed sections (Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fund and Diversity & Equity Board). Additionally, ASOC funds various Student Services that add to student’s experience at Oxy by providing resources and employment.
Accreditation
Oxy is proud to be a member institution in the Presidents' Alliance for Excellence in Student Learning and Accountability. We are also an active participant in the Degree Qualifications Profile project through the partnership between the Lumina Foundation and WASC. We have presented at various conferences and participate in national conversations of higher education assessment.
