The Right Reasons

Introduction
Get over the fact that it's a women's college. It's not that big a deal. There are boys in every single one of my classes. If you choose Bryn Mawr, you're choosing a school for the right reasons. The classes here are outstanding. There's literally something for everyone. If you're a student who LIKES school because you have an honest interest in learning, this is the college for you. If you're looking for big college fun with frats, parties, and basketball games, look elsewhere.

Campus Life and Social Life
Unfortunately there's not a lot of social life on Bryn Mawr's campus. Occasionally there will be a party, but not all the time. However, there is always something going on at a nearbye campus and Bryn Mawr runs shuttles every hour, even on weekends. The Philly club scene is pretty hot, but it's a 7.50 round trip ticket and trains stop running at twelve, so you'd need a cab. Though Bryn Mawr has Varsity Athletics, it's D3 and game turnouts are non existant. Advertisement
Academics
Constant studying. The anthropology department is incredible, as are our sciences and classics departments. The English department is a bit understaffed this year and it's hard to get into their classes. We also have a great creative writing program. Each class is taught by a professor, though for the larger lectures often the class will be broken down into TA lead discussion sessions. There's always help if you need it, the professors are very accessable. The discussions are intelligent and the work is enormous and barely managable.

Student Body
The thing that Bryn Mawr prides itself on is diversity. We have students from all over the world as well as from all different backgrounds. There is no such thing as the typical Bryn Mawr student. My HA is from Georgia, my customs person is from Singapore, my TA is from Paris...

In Closing...
The traditions at Bryn Mawr are one of the best parts. Going here really makes you feel like you're part of something larger, and every tradition you pass entrenches you deeper and deeper into the Bryn Mawr community... which is a good thing.
