She's funny and engaging. She actually makes macro fun which I thought was impossible. Her test are really hard, but are often graded on a curve.

The non-women's college women's college!

A gem of a school! The college doesn't do a good job of creating community (it does get cliquey, as others have noted) but I've found it an overwhelmingly supportive environment. Academics here + other four colleges are top-notch, and there are lots of clubs and activities to get involved in too.

Very cliquey here. If you lose your friend group, expect to be alone. However, the classes are almost all amazing (except fore core) with great professors. Food is good, but it's very challenging to find something tasty every meal if you're vegetarian, vegan, low carb, etc. Not all opinions are allowed or respected on campus.

Scripps is a somewhat hidden gem. Though prestigious in the academic realm, it does not have the same name recognition as Pomona or Williams. This being said you are receiving a top notch education, and are in a constantly stimulating environment. The women's college mixed in with the greater consortium is an experience that can't be rivaled.

i love it here!!!

Scrippsthe Claremont Colleges is a challenging place to learn and grow. I love Scripps and the women I've met here are amazing!! Scripps women want to help each other get ahead, but don't want to tear each other down to do so. It's an incredibly supportive environment. It doesn't hurt that it's gorgeous either.

I love Scripps so much and am very glad that I chose to come here. Scripps truly is the best of both worlds. We're a women's college, but literally across the street (so close you won't understand unless you visit) from 4 co-ed institutions. We're small, but the consortium provides more opportunities. Scripps is the BEST college out there.

Don't be afraid that it's an all women's school! As it is part of the Claremont Consortium there is definitely a co-ed atmosphere to be tapped in to (parties, classes, friends, etc). The women's college aspect however is one of the best parts of the school. The networking opportunities are endless and the female empowerment is so important.

Nice place to live and study.

"The paramount obligation of a college is to develop in its students the ability to think clearly and independently, and the ability to live confidently, courageously and hopefully." --Ellen Browning Scripps. Scripps has done this for me and more. I truly love this school and these women.

The professors are sooo nice!

Scripps is absolutely amazing. No regrets in spending 4 years here full of great professors, friends, parties and classes!

Scripps is an amazing place to go to school. :D

Scripps College is the best school ever. I have nothing to complain about. The Claremont Consortium is great, and you should absolutely check Scripps out. It's basically paradise.
