The science department at Scripps is shared with Pitzer and Claremont McKenna Colleges, and most labs and lectures occur through the Keck Science Department. In fact, it’s possible to follow a pre-med track (which I intend to do) with almost any major. I think Scripps does a great job in promoting a large breadth of knowledge not only in one’s desired area of study, but also in one’s other areas of interest. Hannah: Common majors include biology, psychology, English, and ethnic studies. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Scripps women are very friendly, and there are a lot of opportunities to meet people from the other schools through classes, student organizations, clubs, and sports. It’s super easy to make friends here as well. The food is excellent, and they put a lot of thought into making sure there are plenty of options for people with allergies or other dietary preferences or restrictions. As a member of the 5C’s, Scripps students can choose to dine at any of the seven dining halls located on the campuses. They are beautiful, homey, and you end up making so many friends with the people in your hall. How would you describe the dorm life-rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Most professors are very personal and love to get to know all of their students. There are TAs for some classes, but they are often just an additional resource. Professors offer weekly office hours and many are happy to arrange one-on-one meetings. One of the things I love about Scripps is the small class sizes, which make it really easy to meet with and get to know professors. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? If I need to get from one campus to another late at night, Campus Safety will pick me up and take me home if I feel unsafe. Many people bike to class, too, and bikes are available to both rent and purchase. Scripps is part of a five-college consortium, so you can walk from Scripps to Pomona College, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont McKenna College, or Pitzer College in just a couple of minutes. Additionally, I always feel extremely safe on campus. If you’re looking to go into LA, which is about 45 minutes away, there are public transportation options.
It’s really easy to bring a car, otherwise you can walk or Uber downtown to Claremont Village.
Hannah: Scripps College is in a suburban area, but close enough to access all of the resources in Los Angeles. Below, she shares her experience at Scripps College: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. She is majoring in human biology, and specializes in elementary math tutoring, biology tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Hannah is a current junior at Scripps College.
