"Thriving lesbian scene" is hardly the same thing as majority lesbian. I'm guessing Wesleyan has a thriving lesbian scene.
Give it up. It isn't a lesbian school. Its a school that has lesbians. Most of us think this is not a reason not to go there. Whats your problem with lesbians? |

| What school is "majority lesbian"? |

| I don't have a problem with lesbians at all. I do have a problem with inaccuracies, however. I never said Scrippts was 50% lesbian. That would be abusrb. I did say (to be helpful to those who might be put off by this) that my relative did not have a good time at Scripps and most of that came from the "thriving gay life" in the dorms and she was made to feel "in the minority" as a hetero. You jumped to the conclusion that I had said the school was 50% lesbian. Go back and read my post. Then you ridicule my attempt to help guide someone from the school when they might be happier elsewhere by calling me a "bigot", which I am not. That was inaccurate. So I'm just continued to give you the reports off of Google and other sites like that that reports on the lesbian life at the college. Not majority are lesbians. Just "thriving, etc. Same as this young woman was asking here. Isn't this what we want for our kids - do help them find a school where there is a good fit? Scripps and my relative were not a good fit. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120907155303AAunWAj |

| And look at this interesting definition of Scripps in Urban Dictionary (I would not want to send my lesbian daughter here, would you?). See no. 3. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scripps |

Why do you think it is a bad thing that Scripps has a thriving lesbian community?
And why are you spending so much time googling lesbians at Scripps? Link after link. Its a little weird. |

particularly where the OP asked about CMC. |

| CMC is part of a five college grouping of schools in So.Cal. You can enroll at one and take up to 50% of your workload at other schools. CMC is right across the street (literally) from Scripps. All five colleges interact a lot. They share resources as well so they can have a university-grade library instead of five separate libraries (although Scripps does have its own gorgeous library). |

My father went to CMC and loved it. He still talks of his days there. He was an econ major, now an attorney at a firm he started and was a Rhodes Scholar.
Robin Williams attended before getting kicked out for not being serious enough. He was a year above my father, and they apparently had a statistics class together. |
