Being at Scripps for almost 2 years has allowed me to enjoy the gorgeous fresh air. Scripps is a stunning campus with beautiful outdoor spaces, wonderful views, amazing architecture, and fantastic botanical life. Yet, there are so many hidden gems at Scripps that tend to be overlooked. If you ever visit the Scripps campus, here are some places to visit!
- Margaret Fowler Garden: Margaret Fowler Garden is our secret garden at Scripps College. The walls are covered with beautiful murals called The Flower Vendors painted by Alfredo Ramos Martinez. There is also a beautiful courtyard with a fountain, outdoor seating, and a little oratory chapel that holds letters from Scripps students, making Margaret Fowler Garden a one-in-a-million spot!
- Clark Humanities Museum: The Clark Humanities Museum is a space that allows students to engage with art and various artifacts as a rigorous aspect of academic learning. The Humanities Museum also holds art events there as well, making it a great place to keep an eye out for.
- Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery: The Williamson Gallery has active exhibits each semester as well as distinct collections for various art pieces and ceramics. They are currently having their 80th Scripps College Ceramic Annual Exhibition displaying the use of contemporary ceramics, which is at access to students and the community as a whole.
- Scripps Student Garden: The Student Garden is located behind Browning with planting beds, seasonal fruit trees, and much more. There are student garden coordinators who maintain the garden and have a composting program as well. It is a really cool place that is emblematic of the student leadership and sustainability efforts made on campus!
- Malott Lower Seating Area: While Malott has a fantastic seating area in front and Seal Court to eat your meals, there is also a gorgeous downstairs area with lovely trees and nice tables to hang out with friends. So if you want more of a serene spot, it is truly the place to be.
