Bryn Mawr is a fairly peaceful area, with charming architecture. The local cuisine offers something for many people; you'll find things like Wendy's and McDonald's as well as Indian and Chinese food and the ever-popular pizza. It's very near a number of colleges such as Bryn Mawr and Cabrini University. There are a lot of sidewalks, so you can walk most places. There is something of a noise problem in some areas, but you get used to it. The main problem I've come across is how expensive living here is. Rent would probably run you $1000 a month at least.
To the naked eye, it is a very pleasing neighborhood. For the majority of my life here in Lower Merion, I've noticed that the people here are quite friendly. It's almost like a family like neighborhood. They welcome people of all ages, shapes, genders, religions, and more. However, I found that a lot of the people are here are Caucasian and often uneducated about issues within race and culture. This brings up a lot of moral issues that often affect the minorities and people of color in our community. With myself included, it makes a sense of belonging invisible in some aspects, as if we aren't "meant to be there". Besides that, overall education, environment, location, and safety is about the best I've seen in the entire state.
Bryn Mawr is in a lovely area. It is, in fact, on what locals call the Main Line, which is a wealthier suburb of Philadelphia. If you don't come from the area, like me, but have moved up here, it may seem surreal at first. You go through a honeymoon phase of pretty things, beautiful scenery, and high-quality service. However, you are still surrounded by rich people who are used to having things handed to them. The honeymoon phase slowly turns into the mundane, and you realize that there are potholes everywhere, everything is expensive or overpriced, and you don't fit in as an average person. If you have money, it's a great place to live.
