Caltech's 2025-26 undergraduate cost budget lists $12,105 for on-campus housing and $8,886 for food over nine months; the off-campus estimates are $15,219 and $7,533 respectively. Graduate estimates list housing and utilities from $10,920 per bed in a four-bedroom arrangement to $21,180 for a one-bedroom Caltech-owned unit, plus $8,904 for food. Rates and availability change by contract year.

The catalog treats food as a separate cost-of-attendance line, with an estimated $8,886 on-campus undergraduate food budget for 2025-26. Students should review current campus dining, dietary accommodation and off-campus options directly with Caltech before enrolling; no universal meal or cuisine guarantee is made here.

Caltech's main campus is in Pasadena at 1200 East California Boulevard. The 2025-26 catalog describes six academic divisions and a quarter academic calendar; undergraduate study includes a common scientific core and opportunities for faculty-supervised research, including SURF and senior thesis work.

Caltech provides campus safety, student wellness and care resources through its student-affairs structure. The official catalog links Student Wellness Services, Caltech Accessibility Services and the Caltech Care Team; students should use those current offices and emergency guidance after arrival rather than rely on a generic safety label. International students can use Caltech's International Student Programs, while academic support includes advisers, option representatives and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach. Graduate students must maintain continuous registration and satisfactory progress, and each Ph.D. student must have an active faculty thesis adviser under the catalog rules.
