Campus Life

Over the top GREAT!!! I don't think you will find better. There are options for anyone with special needs.

Food is great! You have over 5 dining halls to choose from so you never really get bored. Scripps food is one of the best, so you're in good hands!

Mallott Commons, Scripps' dining hall, is ok. You tend to get sick of it after a while. It's mostly catered to vegans/vegetarians/allergy people. If you're looking for meat, this isn't the place. The much hyped about cookies also begin to lose their charm. Overall, it's much better than other colleges' food.

7 dining halls on 5 campuses. Competition definitely benefits the students. Check out Taco Tuesday at Pitzer, Muddgolian at Harvey Mudd, and sushi night at Scripps.

The Claremont Colleges share many facilities amongst themselves, dining halls included. There are seven dining halls in total, one at each of the Claremont Colleges (Pomona College however has three dining halls, one of them being the Oldenborg Center, which also serves as a residence hall.). As a Scripps student, you may eat at any of the seven dining halls, save for Oldenborg, which is only open during the weekdays at lunch (for the residents who live there, to practice their language with their peers; this is required of all Oldenborg residents). All of them are very decent, however, Elizabeth Hubert Malott Commons (Scripps' dining hall) is generally recognized as one of the better dining halls. There is always a fresh salad bar and pizza in the oven at meals (save for at breakfast for obvious reasons). Organic, vegetarian, and vegan options are also always available, but McConnell Bistro (Pitzer's dining hall) tends to have better options. Malott is busiest during its weekly sushi nights and steak nights, which are generally considered its best meals. The sushi and steak are both rather mediocre in my opinion, but very decent considering its dining hall food. I have had friends visit from other colleges, and they told me the food at Malott is amazing in comparison to the food served at their dining halls. What Malott lacks is creativity â?? the food is actually quite alright, but the menu is rather repetitive. You can almost predict the menu sometimes â?? burger and fries, quesadillas and grilled chicken, pizza, sweet potatoes and pork roast, something weird in the â??Internationalâ?? section, cookies and frozen yogurtâ?¦ and etcetera. If you are curious what options are available to 5C students, I recommend checking out the Five-College Menu (it is maintained by a current student, though he does not go to Scripps for obvious reasons): http://www.mikemaltese.com/5cmenu/.

The only thing that makes me late for class is lingering at the dinning hall. The incredible variety makes it difficult for anyone not to linger at the scrumptious daily buffets.

Average.

when i was in high school i toured a lot of colleges and i can fairly say that scripps' food is by far the best dining hall food i've ever had, followed closely by wellesley and ucla:-)

if you're ever tired of your dining hall, there are four others to choose from! but past that, each campus has school stores and cafes to go to if you need a snack, a hangout spot, or a late-night snack. they've got you covered.

They don't have it.

No greek life whatsoever, but there are highly spirited clubs across all the 5 C's and unofficial frats that host weekly parties. Plus, the schools (Pitzer and CMC) provide money for the parties, especially the alcohol part.

There is a joke that says that Scripps is one big sorority, but there is not actually any Greek Life on campus.

There are no fraternities or sororities at Scripps, though there are some (maybe two?) at Pomona College that are very low key. However, there is generally a 5C party every Saturday, the quality ones being at Harvey Mudd College (quantity at Claremont McKenna College). These are a lot of fun!

There is not an official Greek Life on campus yet there is always something fun to do throughout the week as well as the weekend, ranging from a trip to the beach, listening to a concert or attending a party at a neighboring college.

nonexistent

none, but i love that.

there isn't a very large sorority/fraternity presence on campus. i'm not even sure if there's one at all.
