Bryn Mawr College - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" Bryn Mawr offers great academics in a supportive environment. Location is great on a tree-lined street just outside Philadelphia. Easy access to Philly on the train. College offers shared classes with Haverford, Swarthmore, and the University of Pennsylvania. College offers a variety of majors from sciences to literature, with some favorites being chemistry, art history, and world languages. All students take a freshman seminar and a language. In my experience, students quickly discover which professors to take and which to avoid. College has a good grad school admissions rate, including med school and law school. The college offers several sports teams including field hockey, cross-country, swimming, tennis, field hockey, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, and basketball, among others. Students can also play club sports at Bryn Mawr and Haverford. The college has a strong student government. At Bryn Mawr, pretty much everyone works hard and takes academics seriously, e.g., library is usually filled on the weekends (as is the campus coffee shop). Like other liberal arts colleges, many buildings need repair or updating, Including the dorms and other facilities. Recently, the college has expanded their financial aid programs, so if that applies to you, go for it. But be ready to study. "
