Bryn Mawr College has taught me the most important life lesson that many colleges fail to acknowledge. You don't come to receive, you come to take. I don't receive an education, I take my education ambitiously and passionately.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
To excel at Bryn Mawr College you are not required to be perfect. Any one can go beyond expectations if they are passionate in what they do. If you have a goal or dream that drives you to achieve, Bryn Mawr will become a tool to your success. Use it wisely. Be ambitious, partake in traditions, live, and have fun.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There is a lot of work involved, that many prospective students may not be used to. However, it is the high academic rigor that does prepare Bryn Mawr women on how to think and solve problems in the world.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are beautiful during any season. Each one has its own personality, and many rooms come with fireplaces and spacious closets. Up to 25 first year students can get placed in a single. First year students live in a hall group of 8-14 students and 1-3 Customspersons for their entire first year. These groups become a tight-knit family over the course of the year, celebrating Bryn Mawr traditions, and hosting teas.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
BMC has two wonderful dining halls, Erdman and Haffner. They not only cater to vegans and vegetarians, these dining halls are know for their ethnic bars and events. Take-out boxes available during the week and many spellbinding 'special dinners' throughout the year.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
You have endless possibilities at your fingertips. Philadelphia is only 30 minutes away and is easily accessible by SEPTA (a regional train line). Not only do you have the 'City of Brotherly Love' down the street, you have five other schools in close proximity that share many parties and events.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Bryn Mawr College is well-known for its four major traditions: Parade Night, Lantern Night, Hell Week, and May Day. Each tradition is full of surprises and history.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school can meet the needs for both the introvert and extrovert. Students that want a greek life, or a co-ed atmosphere, may need to reconsider applying to Bryn Mawr.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus Safety can be seen patrolling the campus at all hours of the day.
