Bryn Mawr College

Pros: When a party happens, they are the best!
Cons: What's a party?

I graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1998 with a double major in Economics and Political Science. As if that were not enough, I had a minor of International Political Economy (a subset of both majors). Needless to say, my rigorous choice of academic...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: More work than you ever will have received in your life!

I will be the first to admit that I probably should have written this review a long time ago. I graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1998 with a double major in Economics and Political Science. I have never been so challenged, so thrilled and so enthused by...

Pros: Strong sense of community, tradition, excellent academics
Cons: Four years may not be enough time to explore

As an alumnae of Bryn Mawr College, I would say that the one of the most important aspects of my education at Bryn Mawr was learning for learning's sake. When I was planning for college, learning was not the main area in which my interest lay. I was...

Cons: Rigorous academics, woman-only environment, small (1100-ish?), pretty campus in rainy Main Line Pennsylvania, nosy staff

Pros: strong academic programs, beautiful campus, honor code discourages competition among students
Cons: certain traditions (idol worship), atmosphere can be uncomfortable for some students

Pros: Beautiful campus, old stone buildings. Wheelchair accessible in most areas!
Cons: Library doesn't appear to have any books for pleasure reading. Not all dorms are wheelchair accessible. Tough academic competition!

I love Bryn Mawr! I am a prospective student, I have visited Bryn Mawr several times, I have had an interview at the school & I recently applied for admission for the fall. Bryn Mawr has a BEAUTIFUL campus, one of the very nicest I have ever seen!...
