Will attending Bryn Mawr mean sacrificing my social life with the opposite sex?

please give me some insight

Several current students at Bryn Mawr and Haverford have told me that it is all about the effort you put in to network within the Tri-co. I'm an incoming freshman at Haverford and when I was just out to visit during Accepted Students Weekend, I was introduced to many Bryn Mawr girls who had come over to the Haverford campus for Friday night parties and Saturday events. It seemed convenient for them to get around.

I think you'll be alright

Bryn Mawr students can have a social life and many do, but you have to go out of your way to get it. Haverford is convenient for parties, but obviously not everyone can find a date there because only 20% of the Bi-Co students are male. Other options are Swarthmore, Penn, Villanova, Drexel, etc.

That being said, a women's college is really not the place to be if your #1 priority in college is an active social life.

I agree -- not as a #1 priority -- but romance finds its way on campus. I dated a Haverford student for two years and a Penn law student and undergrad when I was at Bryn Mawr. I also enjoyed wonderful friendships with a few Haverford students. I met male students in classes, at the library, at meals, and just hanging out on campus.
