The dorms at Scripps are considered to be the nicest out of all the dorms at the Claremont Colleges. Your participation or lack thereof will be noticed!
Classes tend to be small (anywhere from five to twenty-five students, though introductory science classes tend to have more, say about fifty students), so expect to get to know your professors and classmates fairly well. If you take the initiative to attend office hours before exams and send emails when absent, you will get a lot out of the small liberal arts college experience. They are always willing to help students, but communication is key. It should be noted that the professors at Scripps and the Claremont Colleges are excellent. Nevertheless, I find that most Scripps students can easily find a good balance between work and play.
Either way, Scripps students are typically overinvolved and I have never met anyone who had a truly â?boringâ? or â?easyâ? schedule. Other students take four easy classes (anthropology, etc.), but choose to engage themselves in a number of extracurricular and outside activities, such as intermural sports or an internship in Los Angeles. Some students choose to challenge themselves and take four difficult classes (chemistry, etc.). The difficulty you will have really depends on how hard your classes are (and also if they come with lab), whether you are committed to extracurricular activities (and also how many), and whether you also have work study. You can take the average course load of four class or you can take five or more classes. On the whole, show Scripps that you are truly a perfect fitâ? â? a strong young woman who will flourish in a rigorous academic and vibrant social environment. A visit, especially an overnight, will help you decide whether Scripps is the right place for you. Take advantage of these resources that are generally not offered at larger universities! They are a great insight into the academic, dorm, and overall social life at Scripps. Additionally, special events such as Preview Week (for prospective students) and Spend a Day in Our Shoes (for admitted students) are also available. Scripps offers hour-long campus tours five (sometimes six during the fall season when there is an influx of prospective students) days a week, as well as the option to schedule an â?overnightâ? stay with a student hostess. If you have the option to schedule an interview, do it. If you have the option to visit Claremont, do it. The more interest you show in the college, the more likely you will be seriously considered for admission. Also, stellar letters of recommendation from teachers, coaches, and/or peers who know you well should help. I recommend being meticulous when filling out forms and supplements. However, prospective first year students with strong academic transcripts and meaningful extracurricular activities are generally seriously considered for admission. In terms of admissions, Scripps generally does not take in many prospective transfer students.
