[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scripps is beautiful but does get the reputation of being a lesser institution because it is all-women.  I got into both Pomona and Scripps.  I would definitely go with Pomona and take other arts or dance courses that interested me at scripps. [b]Scripps is also extremely liberal as most all-women colleges are so if your child isn't ready for that don't go.  A relative went to Scripps and was very uncomfortable by the lesbian scene in the dorms[/b][/quote]

[b]One really beneficial aspect of going to college can be the experience of feeling uncomfortable about your preconceptions and prejudices.  [/quote][/b]

True, but when your roommate is having sex four feet away from you, night after night, with either a man or a woman, it can be very uncomfortable.[/quote]

Sure -- but that has nothing to do with either politics or sexual orientation.  And, unless you're talking about how the school handled the situation, this is an anecdote that doesn't tell us very much about Scripps.  I mean, you do know that college students everywhere have sex, right?  And that your relative is neither the first nor the last student to have to muster the fortitude to tell his/her roommate to stop being an inconsiderate jerk?   [/quote]
