Tell me about Bryn Mawr

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know why Bryn Mawr isn't ranked that high? When I applied to colleges in the 1990s, it was ranked the #5 liberal arts school. I see it is now #31.

Just curious what happened.

But yes, if she’s not comfortable being around gay people and those who are passionate about social issues, not a good choice.

It isn’t just being comfortable…but there is some degree of pressure to partake- much more than there would be in a co-Ed school (from same sex)

Then maybe Liberty is more to your liking.

Just stop. Extremely liberal, woke, DEI stuff is a fair thing to complain about if you are paying $85K a year for it.

I assure you that while gay sex is available, it is not mandatory.

FFS.

Gorgeous campus and strong academics. Philly and the consortium colleges are easily accessible, but separate enough to give Bryn Mawr it’s own character. Students can take classes at UPenn in topics the college doesn’t offer, a nice feature compared to other small LACs.

Because all-women’s colleges aren’t popular anymore.

Something tells me your kid is going to go to StraitLaced U and shave their head, get tattoos, and end up a polyamorous bisexual vegan.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

NP not at all. It’s far left. More than 90% of schools.

+1 higher acceptance rates and desperate for students

It's not mandatory obviously, and there are great people there! Nonetheless, applicants should be aware that there is a large percentage of lesbians attending many of the all women's colleges.

All women or all non-men? Do they accept non-binary students?

These days I guess it helps that Wellesley is outside of Boston and Barnard is in NYC.

Bryn mawr, on the other hand, is in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania!
