Bryn Mawr is an incredible school! It struggles with diversity (racially, ethnically, religiously, politically, etc.) but truly fosters an amazing academic and community experience.

I like the small class sizes that Bryn Mawr provides. Students are able to get to know each other within the class setting, as well as the ability for the professor to know each student. Bryn Mawr is an inclusive setting, where our social honor code fosters trust within the community such that creativity and diversity is always welcomed. In the future, I would like to see Bryn Mawr allow more opportunities for students to explore the greater Philadelphia area within the structure of a class, instead of strictly lecture based classes for the entire semester. In addition, Bryn Mawr needs air conditioning in ALL of the dorms! It is brutally hot in the warmer months of the year, especially on the upper floors of the dorms.

Bryn Mawr has changed how I see the world in just one short year, and this is while being mostly restricted with covid precautions. The professors are truly invested in their work and words can't fully describe how close the community is. I was nervous at first to attend an all-women's college, but it has been worth it. The only change I'd make would be to see some of the students loosen up about work, but you can definitely see more of a party scene if you visit the sister campuses.
