If you want to be able to take an outdoor swim most of the year…well Scripps. I think both schools are a mix of introverts and extroverts, but I would probably steer a strongly introverted child toward Claremont…Scripps is on a mission to help women find their voices while it seemed to me that Smith students were more outwardly opinionated. Spring can be muddy and dull I have heard…but then Scripps has its So Cal fires…so there is that. The newer Scripps dorms are beautiful! My favorite memory from Smith semester is of taking a rowing class on Paradise Pond. The few Scripps dorms that haven’t been renovated can feel like you have moved into 1930…and I think some of the dust is actually from then. Athens, OH 45701 Phone: 740.593.4883 Fax: 740.593.

Overall, I would say that Claremont is a friendlier place in the way that it California culture dictates. I wouldn’t hesitate to send an LGBTQ child there…or to Smith for that matter. I am not sure about LBGTQ at Scripps specifically, but to me Claremont has come a long way in this regard. There are some incredible profs across the 5Cs.
I would say that while it isn’t as easy to take courses at the other Claremont 5Cs as they may lead you to believe, it is far easier in Claremont to do this than from Smith. I was a Pomona student and did a semester at Smith College as exchange.
