Classes at Scripps (and all of the Claremont Colleges) are definitely a lot of work and require thoughtfulness and dedication. You will spend a considerable amount of time studying, reading, writing papers, and getting to know professors in office hours. The Core program is particularly challenging but in a fabulous mind opening way!

    Scripps is one of five colleges in a consortium. It has the resources of five schools, which is amazing. It is a challenging school but is padded by a supportive community.

    There is definitely a specific type of student who does well at Scripps College. This student is nerdy (and not necessarily in the Big Bang Theory sense), curious, and--most importantly--open to new ideas and new experiences. The required courses, such as those that fall under Core and Breath of Study, ensure that Scripps students are exposed to such ideas and experiences, and the involved and interested faculty are there to lead the way.

Scripps offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in the liberal arts and sciences, and has a unique Core program in the humanities. The Claremont Colleges share athletic and dining facilities; additionally, cross-enrollment in classes at Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College, and Harvey Mudd College is common for many Scripps students.

    Scripps continues to be an experience I will treasure. After only my first year I feel that I've already been accepted into this diverse and nurturing community. I feel proud and obligated to carry on these traditions I have come to love at this prestigious college.

    The beauty of the campus is overrated. The convenience of the 5C's will probably save my life. If you're looking for a small campus with large dorms, and aren't worried about the cost, this is a suitable choice for you.
