The following episode was released internally to the THS community during the winter of 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. At the time, I had yet to make our podcast public. As we are now starting the college/university search and selection process at our school, I thought it would be good to revisit, and make public, some of these internal episodes that are more specific to this time of year.
Scripps College is located about one hour east of Los Angeles and is part of the Claremont Colleges Consortium. It is such a unique institution, and perhaps singular in some sense, in that it is an all-women's college that is part of a co-educational consortium, meaning, men have access to the Scripps coursework (but not all of it). How it differs from a school like Smith or Bryn Mawr is that it essentially shares a campus with the other consortium schools. For all intents and purposes, the Claremont Colleges collectively feel like a typical university campus, but remain independent and self-determined for all intents and purposes. One might suggest it's the best of both worlds, depending on your criteria. This podcast was the result of my campus tour and interview with my student guide.
