Review of Haverford College

from the U.S.

Describe your college in three sentences.

Haverford College is giving me the well rounded education that I was looking for when first applying to colleges. To me, the most notable aspects about Haverford are the small class sizes that create a more intimate learning environment and the more than generous financial aid that is offered to its students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Haverford College is a place for those who are looking for a smaller school where professors give students the attention and help they desire.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Many of the courses are extremely challenging, but I believe that they are not overwhelming or too stressful.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms themselves aren't as wonderful and luxurious as on other campuses, but living in the dorms is a wonderful experience overall.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is fine, but it gets tiring after a while.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

FAB events, dances held in Founders Hall, Lunt concerts

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Our campus has an observatory, which I think is extremely cool. I think a really fun tradition at Haverford is the Customs Week program that is meant to welcome incoming freshmen in the fall.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Haverford is a great school for students looking for a smaller liberal arts school with small class sizes.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

'Safety and Security' is a wonderful part of the Haverford community because they are really there to look after its students.
