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)
I assure you that while gay sex is available, it is not mandatory.
FFS.
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.
Who knew Lesbians were so scary?
God, you're dumb.
They're not scary at all. But college applicants make decisions based partly on student body demographics.

Wellesley and Barnard do fine
Bryn mawr never attracted either the polish or the latter or the hyper elite of the former hence it’s issue
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!
…it’s 20 minutes outside of Philly, genius.
Where crime is a big issue. Where a wonderful, much admired, young Black policeman was murdered by a lawbreaking white 18 year old man.

Wow, people are not smart. Bryn Mawr is on the Main Line on the commuter train line from Philadelphia. Middle of nowhere? One of the nicest neighborhoods to live in the country.

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.
It's really not. You're either ok being exposed and around people different than you or you're not. And for people who are not and only want a conservative echo chamber, they should seek out the Liberty's of the world. But, GL when you're done and have to interact in real life. You don't get to pick and choose so easily.

It's not what it used to be, although what it used to be is now a long time ago. Bryn Mawr was once a strong women's college, probably only second to Wellesley. The alumnae pre 1970s were very accomplished. But when the Ivies went coed, Bryn Mawr lost out significantly. Wellesley has managed to keep its clout.
Statistically, Bryn Mawr's students are much weaker than Haverford or Swarthmore or Penn. But it does allow a weaker student a chance at attending a pretty good college, politics aside.

Popularity has nothing to do with USNWR rankings.

Simple, the criteria USNWR uses don't emphasize Bryn Mawr's strengths. Take a look at the ranking below, which uses student happiness, classroom experience and diversity (student and faculty). It includes both LACs and universities, and Bryn Mawr comes in at # 10. Other women's colleges do very nicely, too, with Scripps and Wellesley at #3 and #4, and Mt. Holyoke at #8.

D attends and loves it!! Was not planning on looking at any women’s colleges, but decided to visit after suggestion from a teacher. Fell in love with the beautiful campus and close knit environment and applied ED.
If in the DMV very easy to visit and see other colleges nearby.
Things she loves:
Excellent academics in a collaborative environment with small classes
Intelligent passionate engaged students
Traditions
Alums very involved
Easy to connect with professors
Ability to easily take classes at Haverford
Option to take take classes at Swarthmore and UPenn
Septa commuter train takes you into Philly in 20 minutes or so to Amtrak station
Cute towns with restaurants, shopping and coffee shops all in close proximity
Campus leans left similar to most SLACs and many colleges but good fit for her

Bryn mawr, on the other hand, is in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania!
10 miles from Philadelphia
2 miles from Amtrak station that gets to NYC in 2 hours (5 times a day)
2 miles from Villanova University
2 miles from Haverford College
10 miles from Swarthmore College
10 miles from Penn
Yes, middle of nowhere Pennsylvania!

I think of Bryn Mawr as being a little less political than Smith, a little less corporate than Wellesley/ Barnard, and very slightly nerdier than other women's colleges. If you like Bryn Mawr, look at Scripps, Mount Holyoke, Agnes Scott.
