Scripps College
- Athletics

They're Not a Big Deal

Sports at Scripps College is not huge. We share our teams with Claremont McKenna and Harvey Mudd. There are not many people who participate in sports, but those who do really like it. Even though we compete with Pomona and Pitzer's joint team, there is not much competition between the student body themselves.

However, the recreational gym is awesome at Scripps! I would give it an A++!!! They recently built a new facility will all the latest equipment (plus cable tv on most of the machines!) The best part of athletics at Scripps is the pool. The pool is a spa! They have dozens of reclining chairs around the (part saline part chlorine) pool with Birds of Paradise decorating the edges. Everyone loves going to the Scripps pool on a warm day to do their homework, relax, or hang out with friends.

If You Are Really Into It, This Is Probably Not the Place

I don't have any particular interest in Athletics so I never cared about that factor when I was choosing colleges. I don't know much but I do know that there are two intercollegiate teams. Scripps is part of CMS - Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College and Scripps College. And the other intercollegiate team is PP - Pomona and Pitzer College. There are wide variety of teams and sports to play here but the fan support is pretty low, it's pretty much your friends who will go to your games and the handful of people from the colleges who love that particular sport. Football does get crowded though because there is homecoming and what not. Facility wise, I think the athletic facilities are great because I have never heard anyone complaining about it. However, if you want to go to a college for a great sports scene, I suggest you tour Scripps and ask around and check out the type of sports scene we have because I think it's not that exciting.

Uhh....

I don't really see a lot fan support but that might be because its not my scene and because Scripps is an all girls school.
