A
Resort-Like Housing
The dorms here are AMAZING! We have our "old dorms," which include the original building on Scripps. These ones are full of character, are very beautiful (a couple overlook our Rose Garden), and have plenty of large singles... most upperclassmen live in these ones.
We have a couple ugly-ish dorms that were built in the 60s and 70s, but at least they have air-conditioning. These are a lot of first-year housing, though all the dorms are mixed which is great. Two of these dorms have amazing 7-person suites, where each person gets a single and you share bathrooms (with a bathtub!), and a living room.
The best dorm at Scripps is the newest one, which is the most gorgeous dorm ever, is air-conditioned, has huge rooms, and the most gorgeous kitchen (it's bigger than my kitchen back home!)
Scripps is a very residential campus, so most people do choose to live in dorms too. ALL our dorms have a grand piano in them, and most have a courtyard attached that your room may even open up to. They all have kitchens and studying rooms we call "Browsing Rooms." We have a variety of options for everyone, from singles (which don't cost extra money), to huge triples, to 4 or 7 person suites. We also have apartments on campus. The housing here is amazing.
