Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It is well known that Malott, the Scripps dining hall, is the most favored of the Claremont colleges. Popular favorites include the hot grill, the exhibition bar, weekly sushi day, and infamous freshly-baked chocolate cookies that melt in your mouth. Vegetarian and vegan foods are also readily available, although the selection is rather small, and there is not a very large range of choices. In 2003, Malott had become so crowded during meal times that Scripps students decided to have “Scripps Only” hours so that Scripps students could eat at their own dining hall without fighting a crowd. Students do get tired of Malott day in and day out, but compared to most colleges, the food at Scripps is gourmet.

When students do not want to eat at Malott, they are able to dine at the dining halls of other campuses with their meal plan, so the variety is very good. Next to Malott is the Motley, which is a social hub on campus that serves coffee and other drinks. The Motley sells all-organic foods, ranging from all-natural gum to health shakes and organic cookies. Here students are able to study, relax, and pick up a healthy snack. Of course dining hall food day after day will begin to get sickening, and this is when having the choice of five campuses to eat on is a lifesaver.

Good for College

With your meal plan you can eat at any of the six dining halls at the five colleges so you don't get too bored with the food at one. The dining halls are all you can eat and have a pretty good variety. Also if you have dietary restrictions there are always vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-free options available. You also get $120-160 of flex money which can be used at on campus coffee shops and snack bars.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the D-Halls

There are 7 dining halls, each with their own delicious menus each night, which are posted on the school sites. The dining halls are also beautiful places to catch up with friends, and there is outdoor dining all year long.
