Surprisingly early in my opinion. Also, after 5pm only persons affiliated with Caltech can get in. Pretty much all of the buildings on campus are locked after 6pm, and I can't think of any well-lit, outdoor settings that are suitable for studying. Personally, I think that Caltech could do a bit more to interact with and contribute to the surrounding community. However, if by "later hours of the evening" you mean pre-11pm, then I might suggest studying at the Borders book store. There are quite a few people that study there (med students?). They have tables indoors at the cafe and out on a patio. The tables inside are sometimes hard to get, but there are plenty of places to sit located around the store. Other than that, the only good, public places to study would be a library somewhere. I think that the main branch of the Pasadena library is open until 9 on weekdays. Or you might perhaps try to find a place at Pasadena City College. Daniel, rather surprisingly, the libraries here close at 1am. Surprisingly early in my opinion.
