Bryn Mawr College Reviews

450 reviews

Despite having a social honor code, it seems like it is very one-sided. Plenty of students are extremely hateful towards others but because they are liberal-leaning, they do not have any repercussions and their actions are even praised by other students. Bryn Mawr is NOT an accepting place. If you do not agree with what the general student body thinks, then you will be shunned and excluded. Many students here are simply bullies who will not even listen to opposing views. It is not all students, but it seems to be the loudest ones. In terms of academics, there are a lot of great professors. Some expect too much, especially the intro class professors, so prepare to work hard. Generally, classes are unnecessarily difficult and there is a lack of support. This is very challenging but if handled correctly you will come out of it a better student. For me, I had to sacrifice my mental health at times. Really look into all aspects of this school before coming here. Good luck!

Review Bryn Mawr College

Bryn Mawr College was a great home for me. Professors and staff care about students and student needs. I loved the self-governance aspect of the school where students got to make decisions concerning how the institution is run. I loved the sense of community, the beauty of the campus, and the skills I received to thrive beyond the walls of Bryn Mawr!

It was an excellent learning environment. The small classes, great engagement with the faculty, and rigorous academics. The ability to take classes at UPenn, Haverford, and Swarthmore was fabulous and expanded my exposure to a number of fields of study. I loved the traditions that the school has and its self-governance. It's easy to get involved with many organizations both at Bryn Mawr and Haverford. Easy access to Philadelphia was awesome. Dorms and food were great. My four years prepared me well for the real world and I have a job secured in my area of study a month prior to graduation.
