<p>Tangential response to something buried in the OP: give Scripps another look. It may be a women’s college…but my D, whom I never thought would go to a women’s college, went to Smith, upon which Scripps is modeled, and had a blast. But I think Scripps is far more integrated into the Claremont Colleges and your D would see plenty of those of the male persuasion without having to work very hard at it. (For us, Scripps was waaay too close.)</p>
