Around Town

I tutor children who are under served in the community. I also do unpaid research on campus. Hanging out with friends and going into town is about all you have time for.

There is something for everyone to do for fun. On weekends there are a lot of 5C parties and events. If parties aren't your thing, there are many other 5C events that are plenty of fun. Trips into Claremont Village are also popular and really great!

Claremont isn't much of a happening town. The village is a student favorite for its cute shops, mostly catered to the elderly of the town. Prices aren't student-tailored either, so be prepared to join the zip car program or bring your own car or rely on public transport to go to the nearest Target or shopping mall. For fun, there are parties held literally every week except finals on every campus starting Wednesday nights. The usual parties are PUB (Wednesday nights at Pomona's DOM lounge , an underground room with some DJ spinning some tunes and a keg of beer and Thursdays, CMC's TNC (thursday night club) sometimes open to all 5 c's)

The Claremont Village is just a 15-minute walk away, and has restaurants, shops, a movie theater, several frozen yogurt places, and a weekly Farmers' Market. There is rarely a lack of activity on campus, though. We have several a capella groups and comedy groups (Without a Box is my favorite) that put on regular shows. Big names (LMFAO, Taylor Swift, and John Legend come to mind) occasionally perform on campus as well. The Motley also often has local musicians playing. There are also a ton of CLORGs (Clubs and Organizations). I recommend joining the Dirigible Plums, the Claremont Colleges Quidditch Team. :)

When I am not supporting the various athletics, a short walk to the village or sun bathing at the spa-like pool on campus is right on top on my long activities list.

Claremont Village-- dining, shopping, etc. A lot of parks around-- natural greenery and such.

scripps is what you make of it. there are hundreds of on-campus organizations to get involved in, movie theaters, small shops around the claremont village, parties every weekend at one of the 5 colleges, and all the big southern california attractions within a few hours' drive: disneyland, hollywood,santa monica pier, etc.

go into the village! there are so many awesome shops to browse around in the village. it's less than a mile walk and well worth it. things close a little early, but plenty to do during the day and many of the shops accept claremont cash, the in-school money system that works off of our school ids.
