<p>HI,
I am a current senior looking at Scripps. How does the school help kids to make friends freshman year. Do the Peer Mentors help? How was it for you to make friends?</p>
<p>New Student Orientation is a full-week of nothing but friend-making. There is nothing like awkward luaus, carnivals and outdoor activities to make one bond with fellow Scrippsies. </p>
<p>I made great friends with the other first-years in my hall almost immediately. It was not as easy to make friends on the other campuses in the first two semesters, but I never felt like I was hurting for friends at Scripps.</p>
