[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Swarthmore still has a consortium with Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Penn.[/quote]

It does, but the geography and logistics mean that it's little used. There is a shuttle (and train into Philly) and the occasional student from Swat takes the occasional course at the other schools. But Bryn Mawr and Haveford have a much closer relationship than the other members of the consortium.[/quote]

We toured Haverford this fall and the tour guide talked a lot about the consortium. Even mentioned that they go to Bryn Mawr just to eat dinner sometimes.  Seems like those two schools have a close relationship. [/quote]

I have a student at Haverford and she enjoys taking classes at Bryn Mawr. She now has friends at both schools.  The food is better at Bryn Mawr so she likes getting lunch there.  [/quote]

Haverford is a school that doesn't seem to get the attention of its peers and it seems like a good fit for the OP. Could you say a bit about whether your daughter likes it? [/quote]

She loves it!  The campus is beautiful and she has made good friends.  She feels close with a number of her professors and has loved her classes.  She’s really engaged with the subject matter.   Kids seem friendly and cooperative and not competitive with each other.  There is a nature trail on campus and she and her friends walk on it frequently, but it certainly doesn’t have the same access to amazing nature as Bowdoin does.  Once Covid is less of a problem, she and her friends are hoping to take the train more into Philadelphia to explore there as well.
