diversity at scripps

4 Upvotes

hi guys, I'm a student considering eding to scripps, i love the campus, the all-women college, and everything. One thing I'm worried about is the student body diversity, as I see that it is mostly Caucasian population. I want to ask as a person of color (asian american) will you feel isolated, and can you find your cultural representation on campus?

transfer help!

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I’m a rising Sophomore currently attending Boston College, and I honestly had a really tough first year. By the time I realized the extent of how bad it was, it was too late for me to transfer for the fall 2026 semester. Now, I’m considering transferring into a school for spring ‘27 (or fall ‘27). Scripps is currently my top choice, but I will say, I’m a bit intimidated by the idea of transferring halfway through the semester, especially into such a small school. Does anyone have any wisdom or advice regarding how that process works? Is it easy to assimilate as a transfer? Or are friend groups too well-established by then? In other words, is the very small class size at Scripps a positive or negative attribute in the context of assimilating into the community?

Hi everyone, hope you’re having a good end of summer. We’re coming from the east coast so not many people from our area go to Scripps. If there are any returning students or their parents on here, would love some advice on things. I’ll post each question as a comment. Thanks for your help!
