There just aren’t as many students per square foot at the Claremont colleges as there are at schools like UCLA. My older daughter loves Scripps and would never describe it as too quiet – it’s exactly what she wants. She has a big group of friends, too, so it’s not like she’s antisocial.
This is why college tours are so important! It’s not because you get to hear about the university library and how if you can’t find the book you need, they can get it for you in 3 days via interlibrary loan! and here’s the athletic center, which has fitness classes for all ability levels! and here’s the science building, which has science stuff in it! No, it’s mostly so you can find out what the campus “feels” like.
