Celebrating Our Differences
There are so many different types of cultures, religions, and ethnicities at Scripps. There is not an outstanding majority that dominates over the school or makes anyone feel discluded- in fact, there are some amazing organizations on campus that are devoted to teaching gathering members and others about their cultures/heritage. Diversity is also a topic that is frequently discussed here in a positive, open, and thoughtful way.

Willing to Help Out
Even though the school is really really expensive, the Office of Financial Aid is there to help you out- as long as you get your forms in on time, they are willing to work with you and your family to try and get you to come- they're a welcoming community that doesn't just want to take your money. The phone number for the Office of Financial Aid leads you to a really nice lady who is always there and willing to help.

Pretty Much Loaded
One thing that might seem like common sense is overlooked by a lot of Scrippsies and comes as a surprise to them when they're finally here (or at least it did for me). Almost everyone is loaded! I mean, you kind of have to have money to come here, but you can tell if you look for it. People wear expensive clothes, ride really nice bikes/drive nice cars, and almost ALL have iPhones. My recommendation? Buy a really cool, interesting case for yours, because chances are someone'll have the same one as you!
