Not many Scripps students seem to follow this forum so I will atempt to answer your question from the point of view of a parent of a rising Junior. Yes, Scripps does feel like women’s college from the standpoint of the college being clean, beautiful and somewhat more quiet than the other C’s. But it has a very different feel to it than say, Wellesley, where, you can walk around campus and not see any men. If you have not visited Claremont, it is almost like the five schools are on one big campus so you do not have to walk far to be on a co-ed campus. Also, my D’s experience is that except for Core, most of her classes have men in them as well. I think that Scripps retains the identity of a women’s college but has the advantage of being very close to co-ed schools. Hope this helps.
