Scripps Starter Kit
Every Sunday you’ll find a farmer’s market at the Claremont Village; you can walk there and pick up affordable, fresh food.
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.
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.
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.
An internship can give you a leg up in the graduate job search.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
