Brides-to-be and prom-goers love to use our roses for their flower needs. The president was obviously not too happy about this and so we got the Rose Garden! Anyone can come and pick the roses.
The graffiti wall is right behind our famous Rose Garden! Legend has it that the reason we have the Rose Garden is because Harvey Mudd guys used to break into the president’s house’s garden and steal the roses to gift to Scripps students as part of their courtship. For example, one of the most notable signatures is Class of 1970’s which just says “STOP THE WAR,” the Class of 2011’s has a graph depicting the Great Recession, and Class of 2020’s will have flowers sprouting out of a mask. In addition, it’s fascinating to see U.S. It’s fun to wonder what the stories behind them are. I love walking by the wall and reading all the old-timey names like Dot and Shirley, as well as the wacky nicknames some of them had. The illustration is painted on by a fellow senior whose design gets voted on by the rest of the class. Every graduating class since the 1930s has signed their name on the wall around an illustration that reflects what was important to the students during their college years or what was going on in the world at the time. The graffiti wall is essentially a collection of illustrations and signatures. This is also two spots in one! Are you a history dork like me? Then you’ll love the graffiti wall. Graffiti Wall & the Rose Garden Graffiti Wall behind to guarantee you’ll bring back the mug. Best of all, you can take your Motley mug outside and sip your drink in Seal Court. There’s a big screen where films and club presentations are sometimes shown. Dreams do come true! The Motley is a great spot for studying, hanging out, and events! There is a stage where local bands perform and open mics are held. When I first visited Scripps, I knew immediately that I wanted to be a Barista here. This is where I spend the other half of my work life, as a Barista. Located in this courtyard, is the Motley! The Motley is our student-run coffeeshop. You can also buy Challah bread here every Friday from our student club, Scripps Challah, which is dedicated to food justice! Their bread is simply *chef’s kiss*. Seal Court is home to our Scripps Tea tradition and a popular spot for sophomores to present on their Core projects every year. The sides of the fountain are decorated with mosaic tiles that depict an under the sea world. In addition, trees stand around the fountain, ready to provide much needed shade from our round the clock sunny weather. These are two spots in one! Seal Court is our picturesque fountain known for its seal statues (that spurt water out of their mouths), live koi fish, lily pads, and turtles! (The turtles are a little harder to spot because they only show up when they feel like it.) Surrounding the fountain, are plenty of benches, chairs, and tables that are perfect for hanging out and studying. A few of these spots are shown on tours, whereas others aren’t discovered until you’re an actual student on campus.īefore we start, I do want to give a special shout out to our lovely groundskeepers and maintenance workers who are dedicated to keeping our campus gorgeous! 1.
Today, I’ll be telling you about some of my favorite spots.
One of my favorite aspects of being a Scripps Admission Ambassador is showing off our beautiful, Pinterest-worthy campus.
