After three years experience at Scripps...

@intparent‌ I am a Scripps student '18 and yes Mudd students aren’t allowed to take the spring CS. It has over a hundred spots total and it is VERY popular. My roommate and many of my friends are interested in taking it. However as first-years… we register last. :P

To answer to the dorm dilemma above, I am in a “forced” triple (it was a double four years ago) and it is nice and spacious. My bed is bunked. I have my own closet. I am happy. All the rooms vary because some of them weren’t always rooms when the college was young. The people who live at Smiley on Pomona campus do it because they want singles, I’ve heard (one of my upperclass friends lives in one) but since Pomona is on a housing crunch, it won’t happen next year. They’re trying to complete the 10th residence hall by 2016, and we recently got a donation to make that start happening soon, so hopefully I’ll be able to live in it…

Cross registration is not as difficult as it seems. Permission to enroll is usually approved (I’ve been told) if you show up to the first day of classes and are persistent.

And yes, this year’s core is wonderful. They switch it out every three years. Upperclass girls did not seem to like theirs, but me and other sophomores do, in general, like Core I. And are looking forward to Core II.
