<p>I agree with the above opinions that Scripps' proximity to co-ed schools is similar to Bryn Mawr and Haverford, but that culturally and academically, it's a lot more like Mt. Holyoke.</p>
<br>
<p>can you really get a women's college experience in such close proximity to 4 co-ed schools?</p>
<br>
<p>Most of the selective women's colleges have this kind of relationship to a greater or lesser extent. Of the Seven Sisters that remain, Wellesley is the only one without a great deal of cross-registration, and even there, there's a lot of interaction, especially with MIT (there's a co-ed singing group with MIT men, etc.). Even Mills has a co-ed grad program. Most of the women's colleges view this as a plus, not a minus. At BMC, which has possibly the most intimate brother-school relationship after Barnard, despite the presence of a few Haverford men in the courses, it's extremely clear who's running the show.</p>
