Bryn Mawr asks that you think critically, analytically, and carefully. Rather than teaching to a test, professors want you to absorb the material and formulate your own ideas about it. Dialogue with students and professors is encouraged, so you're challenged every day with new things to consider. In addition, I have so much support from my professors, advisors and peers!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Bryn Mawr is quite small, but it still has many opportunities. The campus feels a lot bigger because of the consortium with nearby schools. Having a new experience and a change of scenery is as easy as a bus ride to an event at Haverford or Swarthmore or taking a class at UPenn. This consortium really expands the academic and social opportunities here. But I also love to just stay on Bryn Mawr's gorgeous campus!
The location is perfect. Bryn Mawr is in a nice little town that's just a train ride away from Philadelphia and not far from New York either.
The community on the campus and the anything-goes zaniness really feels like home to me. I was a little unsure about going to a women's college, but it makes the community stronger and I feel very comfortable and empowered in this environment. Bryn Mawr's rich traditions also strengthen the community in a way that just wouldn't be as effective in a coed environment.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Bryn Mawr is expensive but it the education is just what you would expect for the cost and it comes with access to all kinds of opportunities, services, and facilities that are definitely worth the money. Financial aid is also need-based and negotiable.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take lots of AP courses. Take the exams as well so you can place out of some prerequisite courses. Visit the campus. Stay overnight.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This is a place for academically driven girls who want to become strong, independent women and spend four years with such women. There are men around, but be look forward to a predominately female presence. The women here tend to have feminist and liberal views. There are others, but it's important that you're comfortable with this sort of environment.
