<p>I know there are guys at the other colleges; do you get to see them and get to know them? Is there a lot of dating? Are Scripps girls sought after by the guys or do the girls have to chase them? </p>
<p>What's it like?</p>
<p>hey, don't worry about meeting guys; a lot of my friends are girls, but i've met and befriended a lot of guys as well from parties and through friends at the other colleges.
every weekend my friends and i have pretty much just gone to CMC, or even just over there for a meal during the week. no one really knows what school you go to unless you tell them, so no one is sought after/chased depending on their school. plus you'd join clubs, which have guys in them if they're shared among the colleges (a lot of them are).
dating-- i don't think it's as common for freshmen, even at co-ed schools. you can still meet/get to know guys, though.
i was kind of worried about the "women's college" aspect of scripps when i applied, but it really isn't a big deal. there are guys in our dining hall and i have a few guys in my classes (which are all at scripps, so there are fewer guys in them than there would be if i cross-registered or took a science course). and to be honest, it's pretty refreshing going to class and not caring what i look like.
scripps is really not a typical women's college in the respect that we still see guys a lot.</p>
<p>You won't at all be isolated from guys. No matter what, they'll be at parties, around the dining hall, walking through campus, etc. But as to how many you have in your close circle of friends, it probably just depends on your own schedule/interests/etc.</p>
<p>I studied subjects that were male-heavy and let me take lots of off-campus courses. One my main EC's, which was the source of many close friendships, was co-ed/5C. I had zero problems meeting guys, and I'm not an overwhelmingly outgoing person.</p>
<p>One of my closest friends studied two subjects that were very female-heavy and kept her mostly on-campus. Her main EC was also very female-dominated. She had a boyfriend and a few guy friends, mostly friends of friends, but did wish it were easier for her to meet boys.</p>
<p>Another friend studied a very female-dominated topic, but was a social butterfly type of person. She met lots of guys at parties and through a recreational sport. </p>
<p>It's definitely not like being in a fully co-ed environment, but I never felt that I had to be especially proactive. Visit, if possible...it'll make more sense :)</p>
