Scripps College Campus Life

Food was pretty delicious. I tried it. Good options for vegetarians + people w/ gluten allergies.

The meal plan at Scripps allows you to eat at all the dining halls at the Claremont Colleges (Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, Claremont Mckenna, and Pomona). This allows you to have a lot of variety in your meals, and there's a website where you can see what is being offered at each dining hall for each meal so you can get whatever looks best to you. Each school tries to attract the most amount of students to their dining hall, and because of this competition the food being served is always delicious. Very vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and allergy friendly. Lots of organic foods and they try to support locally grown food as well.

The food at Scripps is amazing. Because Scripps is part of the Claremont Colleges Consortium you can eat at any of the school's dining halls for any meal. We have a website and app which show you what is being served at each dining hall for every meal so you can pick what looks best for that meal. On Friday's we haev sushi night, on Saturday's we have steak and salmon - so there are really gormet choices which make it so it doesn't feel like dining hall food at all. We also have flex dollars which come with the meal plan that can be used at any eatery around the 5 campuses. So if you miss a meal or want to buy coffee at the Motley Coffee House on Scripps' campus you can use flex dollars. There are tons of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options so there is something for everyone!

Students can have meals at any of the 5C dining halls. There are seven across the campuses, so lots of choices. The menus are all posted online. There are also smaller grab-and-go types of places--I think one or two on each campus. Scripps's Motley Coffeehouse is an amazing place to study, work, and relax. It has the perfect college-coffeehouse vibe--exposed brick walls, a stage at the front for student performances, plenty of comfy chairs and sofas, and a super-friendly student staff. My favorite drink is a chai tea latte with honey.

Students at Scripps have access to all 7 dining halls (plus a handful of cafes, coffee shops, and snack places) of the Claremont Consortium, and because the various schools have to pay each other when their students eat elsewhere, there is an economic competition between the schools to have the best food. The students reap the benefits. Steak, sushi, salmon, stir-fry, custom pasta, smoothies... we really eat well here. The dining halls also make an effort to provide vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-free options, and to label any potential hazards (nuts, shellfish, etc) in the foods.

Great food and so many different options! The mexican food is to die for at any of the dining halls. There are also 7 different dining halls to choose along with other non-dining hall options on each campus.

One thing Scripps students bond about is the amazing food we eat. Scripps has an amazing salad bar, grill, international, and dessert station! I have a made to order omelet every day in Mallot Commons,the dining hall. Imagine having warm freshly baked chocolate chip cookies every night with vanilla ice cream on top! Yes, that is my dessert about four days out of the week. The food I eat here is definitely some of the best!

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.

None.

Doesn't exist.

We don't have greek life, and I love it that way. I think the social scene is much more open and welcoming than it would be otherwise, and you can meet new people through clubs, classes, and friends.

No greek life at Scripps. There are a few 'frats' at Pomona, but they are more like clubs than a traditional fraternity.

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.
