Meet first-years Maya and Nayla. They're two friends who teamed up to share what they wish they had known about Scripps and the Claremont Colleges before applying.
"You get to be part of a very small and tight-knit community because you see a lot of the same people daily at all the Claremont Colleges. You get to eat and study with friends everywhere. You can take classes at all of the colleges and you can walk or bike to all the campuses. I'm from New York, so I did have to get used to the weather and how people like to hang out by the pool almost every day. What surprised me most was how close everyone and everything is! It's pretty great actually." -Nayla
"There's a lot to do outside of class. It feels like there is so much available with over 300 clubs. It can be tough to choose! I'm first generation, and at Scripps there is a student affinity club and space where people really help you on the spot. It's been nice to have that sense of community with other students and be able to hang out. I'm now an access mentor and its been fulfilling to share resources and college opportunities with high school students." -Maya

About Scripps
When Scripps was founded in 1926 in Claremont, California, it was one of few institutions dedicated to educating women for lives of commitment and engagement. Since then, Scripps has continued to champion qualities of both mind and spirit in accordance with the vision of its founder, newspaper entrepreneur and philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. Scripps today offers a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, a robust intellectual community, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and a rich residential experience designed to shape the next generation of leaders.
