If the whole question of whether Bryn Mawr is "worth it" comes down to the schools' ideological stance towards gender matters, then it is definitely on the progressive side. Bryn Mawr's kindness and tolerance is going to be other people's foolish enability and injustice against girls. Like everything else in modern society, the private schools are sorting out on either side of the fault lines and there are other private schools that take a more traditional approach to gender identities, whether directly or indirectly.

County privates tend to be more pragmatic than the city privates. Except Park. You have plenty of options in the Baltimore area, minus Oldfields.

Yes, Harford County. Since you are familiar - Why do you feel Harford Day/John Carroll are better options than Tome? Out of those three, I've heard the most positive things from Tome. The reason we are looking at Tome and Bryn Mawr is simply that we're still early in this process and the financial side of things isn't really a major hurdle one way or the other.

John Carroll is a great school if you want you kid to have a drug problem.

Bryn Mawr is barely in the city. It sit at the edge of Roland Park, the county side. easily accessible from points north of town.


Which is said about every school, public or private.

If finances aren't an issue for OP, then the difference between Tome and a full fledged private like Bryn Mawr is going to be staggering. Quality of facilities, instruction, student body, the overall campus atmosphere. You'd want to visit all the schools and see for yourself.

Commuting from Harford to the Baltimore area schools is going to be rough. It's possible McDonogh may run a bus out to Harford. I'd also look at the Saint Pauls schools as they're right off the beltway. If you can't move closer in, then I'd probably look closely at Harford Day as a long established option that has sent graduates to the Baltimore area schools for HS. I know very little about Tome other than it is a resurrection of a much older boarding school that closed during the Depression. The only connection is the name.

There's a bus at the Fallston Park and Ride that goes to the city privates. I personally would worry about sending my young children on a 45 minute bus ride into Baltimore City. I mean, I assume they take good care of the kids and all, but jeez.

Is this a joke? Have you never been to the North Baltimore private schools? The biggest danger is your kid being run over by a Mercedes suv.

Roland Park et al are not even remotely safe areas. Those campuses are not exactly locked down either. I don't know where exactly the bus drop off would be, but you have a strange sense of what is safe if those areas seem ok to you. Especially in 2023.

You are either a troll or certifiably insane. Maybe both.

For those who re rational, the bus drops off the students at each school, as one would expect.

Haha every Baltimore thread we have you nutters come out of the woodwork and insist the city is safe. Last time I remember someone posted current footage in real time of drug addicts and homeless on the street perpendicular to Bryn Mawr

Definitely going with a troll.

Yeah, because everyone knows Baltimore is super safe. That's for sure the common wisdom. And the criminal stats support your case too! You're definitely not engaged in willful self deceit.

I love walking along Northern Parkway at night with the kids!

I know people who live on Northern Parkway a few blocks from Bryn Mawr. I have no idea what you're trying to allege. Actually, I do, but it makes no sense and only shows that you know nothing about Baltimore.

I live in the burbs and very cognizant of the many problems plaguing Baltimore but your ranting posts about lack of safety around Bryn Mawr is ridiculous. The North Baltimore neighborhoods surrounding the campus are handsome, safe, and lovely.

I live in the burbs too, but when I went to a gilman football game last fall, there were 100% drug addicts from the street in attendance. They just walked in and stood at the fence around the field to watch and cheer for the game. I know and respect all these schools, but there isn't a moat separating you from the rest of the city or anything. You have to be aware and conscious of that.

Yuck. It's like a four lane major highway. Speeding cars, many of which smell like moving bongs, with trash and beggars at the corners. You must be deaf and nose blind to enjoy that walk, and not mind that your kids are six inches from a Nissan with a death wish.

These people don't want to hear it. I don't for a second think that the Baltimoreans truly believe Roland Park is actually safe, but they will put their fingers in their ears and shriek about it until the thread dies. Maybe they think it reflects poorly on them to admit they live in the literal ghetto, I don't know.

Northern Pkwy is wildly dangerous and I see the youths scouring the nice neighborhoods at night looking for cars to break into. I saw a very rotund woman get out of her car and start pounding on a Mercedes for cutting her off, right in front of Eddie's the last time I was in the area. Holding up traffic and everything. I'm sure that woman driving the Mercedes would be the first to gush about how charming her neighborhood is.

It's 1030pm right now. Go for a walk around Roland Ave right now with your purse and phone visible and report back how that goes. I can do it everywhere in a 5 mile radius of my house easily. Can you?

County privates tend to be more pragmatic than the city privates. Except Park. You have plenty of options in the Baltimore area, minus Oldfields.

Yes, Harford County. Since you are familiar - Why do you feel Harford Day/John Carroll are better options than Tome? Out of those three, I've heard the most positive things from Tome. The reason we are looking at Tome and Bryn Mawr is simply that we're still early in this process and the financial side of things isn't really a major hurdle one way or the other.

John Carroll is a great school if you want you kid to have a drug problem.

Bryn Mawr is barely in the city. It sit at the edge of Roland Park, the county side. easily accessible from points north of town.


Which is said about every school, public or private.

If finances aren't an issue for OP, then the difference between Tome and a full fledged private like Bryn Mawr is going to be staggering. Quality of facilities, instruction, student body, the overall campus atmosphere. You'd want to visit all the schools and see for yourself.

Commuting from Harford to the Baltimore area schools is going to be rough. It's possible McDonogh may run a bus out to Harford. I'd also look at the Saint Pauls schools as they're right off the beltway. If you can't move closer in, then I'd probably look closely at Harford Day as a long established option that has sent graduates to the Baltimore area schools for HS. I know very little about Tome other than it is a resurrection of a much older boarding school that closed during the Depression. The only connection is the name.

There's a bus at the Fallston Park and Ride that goes to the city privates. I personally would worry about sending my young children on a 45 minute bus ride into Baltimore City. I mean, I assume they take good care of the kids and all, but jeez.

Is this a joke? Have you never been to the North Baltimore private schools? The biggest danger is your kid being run over by a Mercedes suv.

Roland Park et al are not even remotely safe areas. Those campuses are not exactly locked down either. I don't know where exactly the bus drop off would be, but you have a strange sense of what is safe if those areas seem ok to you. Especially in 2023.

You are either a troll or certifiably insane. Maybe both.

For those who re rational, the bus drops off the students at each school, as one would expect.

Haha every Baltimore thread we have you nutters come out of the woodwork and insist the city is safe. Last time I remember someone posted current footage in real time of drug addicts and homeless on the street perpendicular to Bryn Mawr

Definitely going with a troll.

Yeah, because everyone knows Baltimore is super safe. That's for sure the common wisdom. And the criminal stats support your case too! You're definitely not engaged in willful self deceit.

I love walking along Northern Parkway at night with the kids!

You have a few issues, my friend.

Yes, all the homeless druggies on… Roland Ave. Mmmhmmmm. So scary.

It's 1030pm right now. Go for a walk around Roland Ave right now with your purse and phone visible and report back how that goes. I can do it everywhere in a 5 mile radius of my house easily. Can you?

I live in Roland Park and often walk my dogs at 10 or 11 pm. Most nights, I walk to either the Gilman or Bryn Mawr.

walk to the Gilman or Bryn Mawr campus. I also let my kids play on the Gilman fields after dark without me there.

I know people who live on Northern Parkway a few blocks from Bryn Mawr. I have no idea what you're trying to allege. Actually, I do, but it makes no sense and only shows that you know nothing about Baltimore.

I live in the burbs and very cognizant of the many problems plaguing Baltimore but your ranting posts about lack of safety around Bryn Mawr is ridiculous. The North Baltimore neighborhoods surrounding the campus are handsome, safe, and lovely.

I live in the burbs too, but when I went to a gilman football game last fall, there were 100% drug addicts from the street in attendance. They just walked in and stood at the fence around the field to watch and cheer for the game. I know and respect all these schools, but there isn't a moat separating you from the rest of the city or anything. You have to be aware and conscious of that.

Obviously this never happened. But even if it did, what’s your problem with drug addicts having a good time at a football game like anyone else?

The only crime taking place on Roland Avenue is the price gouging that Eddie’s engages in

So sad to live your life with such a consuming level of fear.

Plus, last time I checked, school is over at 3:30, sports go to 5:30-6, maybe there are evening activities canpus but that’s rare and when they occur I do feel perfectly safe walking with purse and phone out. What is your problem????

I know McDonogh is in Baltimore County and co-ed but I think it is much better than Bryn Mawr.
