Scripps College

Sunny With a Possibly of Some Clouds

Most of the time, it is sunny at Scripps (after all the school is located in southern California!) The temperature does drop during the winter months so its good to have a jacket. But compared to the upper midwest (where I'm from) the weather is perfect everyday!

Don't Be Stupid

Scripps College does not look to get their students in trouble. That said, don't be obvious about breaking the rules cause if you are, the school will follow its policies. This year Scripps revised their alcohol policy for the better. If you and your friend have been drinking (both of you are underage) and your friend is in need of medical attention, by calling security for help, you will not get in trouble. The security at Scripps number on goal is to keep the students safe.

Everything Is on-Campus

There are so many activities on the 5Cs and the nearby Village (downtown Claremont) that there is no need to travel outside of it. If you do need to drive somewhere, there is a Claremont taxi service that will drive you within Claremont (they will even bring you to the nearest mall which is in the next town over) for only 2 dollars! If you wish to go farther than that, there are multiple zipcar stations located throughout the 5 Cs. Lastly, on the other side of Pomona, there is a train station for the MetroLink, which brings you into Union Station in downtown LA!
