[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is planning to apply to both so it has been very depressing to read this thread. She really wants a close knit and nurturing community and thought Bryn Mawr in particular would be ideal in this respect- it is her first choice ?  Any suggestions for alternatives?  She would actually prefer a coed so doesn’t have to be a women’s college. Would prefer a NE or Mid Atlantic college in or near a city. Also wants a liberal arts college that is strong in the life sciences TIA[/quote]

What is nurturing and close-knit for one student is awful for another. Don't let this thread or any other dissuade her. I'd encourage her to apply to Bryn Mawr and look for other similar LACs, including Haverford and Swarthmore if her stats are in range. Have her do an overnight visit to her top 1-2 choices before applying or after admitted to confirm the choice.

Other LACs that are good in life sciences are Juniata and Wooster (not near a city though). Macalester is near a city, but obviously not in Mid-Atlantic or NE. [/quote]
