<p>OP - I think you have identified a significant difference in one of your first posts… Scripps is co-located, contiguous, with Mudd, CMC, Pitzer, Pomona. In fact Mudders wre quite irritated recently about not being able to use the Scripps pool for awhile as is their custom (cannot remember the reason). Therefore, a student at Scripps self selects the degree to which they experience the 5Cs as a coed experience.</p>
<p>Others have noted that Bryn Mawr enjoys more prestige for historic reasons, while Scripps actually enrolls higher testing students.</p>
<p>No one can advise you as to the relevance for you of the cultural/weather differences between SoCal and Bryn Mawr.</p>
<p>This is really a ‘feel’ decision, as the academics are a push.</p>
