[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Scripps back in the early 90s.  The four years I spent there were some of the best years of my life.  I now look back at my time there and realize we just took the beauty of Scripps, the comraderie of the students, the gorgeous weather, the challenging classes but laid-back atmosphere, the social scene including music festivals and year round themed bbq's- for granted.  It was a unique experience and when you add in the other Claremont colleges, I believe it is an experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else.

Back in my time, the career counseling was not that strong but frankly we also graduated when jobs were at an all time low so maybe there is not much they could have done.  I ended up going to graduate school in the East Coast - including law school - so all has turned out well for me. My daughter is applying to colleges next year and we'll likely go out to Claremont this spring to revisit Scripps and tour the other Claremont colleges.  I would be thrilled if my daughter ended up at any of the 4 Claremont colleges she will apply to (I exclude Harvey Mudd because she is not interested in STEM).  While there are no guarantees in life, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that it's hard to be unhappy at Scripps or any of the other Claremont Colleges. [/quote]
