[quote=Anonymous]I concur with the previous poster mentioning Bryn Mawr is a place resting on past laurels and that time has passed it. I had the same impression 30 years ago and not surprised it's not changed. It was a premier women's college from its founding till the 70s when the Ivies and other LACs went coed, and the cream of the crop of women started going to Princeton and Yale or Amherst instead of the Seven Sisters. Back in the day Bryn Mawr was probably the third most rigorous women's college, after Radcliffe and Wellesley, so the name meant something for several generations. In the 90s into early 2000s, it meant a Bryn Mawr student had access to resources and faculty of a more prestigious school but with a less prestigious student body. This can be a nice advantage. But I do remember being on campus several times in the early 2000s when a grad student at Penn and invited to social events at Bryn Mawr through a connection, and finding the campus so quiet and dull. On a Friday night! If you're looking for more of a hustle and bustle and activity it sounds like Bryn Mawr isn't the place. Even Kenyon, a school I've been to, had more going on, in a sense the isolation forces more activity within campus. What this means is certain students would be fine with the quiet nature of Bryn Mawr but others will age out of very quickly. [/quote]
