Bryn Mawr vs. Scripps

[sra08]

<p>The Scripps policy about off-campus courses on paper and the policy in actual practice are very different. If your adviser signs off on your schedule, you really don’t have to worry about the number of off-campus courses which you have. I know tons of people who took non-Scripps classes first semester, for reasons ranging from “I need to take this particular language” to “it looks interesting to me.” There are also numerous “loopholes” in the policy which aren’t mentioned in that particular statement. Many classes listed as, say, women’s studies, count as 5-C classes. My major, History, is in some kind of joint program whereby History courses at most of the other colleges don’t technically “count” towards the limit, which primarily exists on paper anyway.</p>
