Scripps Starter Kit

Claremont Farmer's Market

Every Sunday you’ll find a farmer’s market at the Claremont Village; you can walk there and pick up affordable, fresh food.

Student Clorgs

Student clubs and organizations (clorgs) are great ways to make lasting friendships, explore your interests, and get the most out of your time in college.

Claremont Colleges

Attending Scripps is like attending five colleges in one; you can take classes and get involved at the other four schools in the Claremont Colleges. Yes, really.

Study Abroad

Around 60% of Scripps students study abroad, because it’s the best way to continue your studies, learn a new culture, and travel during college—you can have it all.

Internships

There are a lot of top companies in SoCal—and most of them offer internships. Scripps students have interned at places like 20th Century Fox Studios and Apple.

An internship can give you a leg up in the graduate job search.

Laspa Center

You’ll learn empowering leadership skills with the Laspa Center for Leadership’s programs. They teach on topics like financial literacy and civic engagement.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

Scripps Mugging

Get mugged by Scripps alumnae—and by that, we mean you get a free Scripps mug along with a personalized letter from a Scripps alumna.

Graffiti Wall

When you graduate, you’ll join all the Scripps students who came before you by signing your name to the Graffiti Wall. It’s a great way to leave your mark.

This is my personal favorite tradition.

Matriculation

Dress up as fancy as you like, walk through the Denison Library’s doors with your classmates, and sign your name in the Scripps book. Afterwards, it’s time to party.

Definitely one of the best moments of my college life.

Afternoon Tea

On Wednesdays, we drink tea. Head to Seal Court for midweek afternoon tea (and snacks) to hang out with your friends and professors.

It’s a great opportunity to take a breather.
