Campus Visit Notes for Haverford College:
Visit Description:
Gorgeous campus! Large duckpond at entrance. Integrated inot hte community. Great location, but off-campus housing could be expensive. Seems to be moving to a stronger emphasis on athletes- not a positive. Strong curriculum, challenging courses.
