Hi! I’m currently a senior in high school who has recently been accepted ED to the Haverford College class of 2023, so while I cannot speak to many personal experiences I’ve had on campus, I can address a few of the points you’ve brought up and what my thinking was while applying to the school. Like your daughter, I was immediately drawn to Haverford’s Honor Code. While other schools have honor codes, I have not heard of one that is similar to Haverford’s. It emphasizes trust, respect, and concern, which can be seen through the self-scheduled, un-proctored exams, the absence of RAs in the dorms, plenary, the alcohol policy, and the 24-hour lab access, to name a few. I’m sure you’ve heard this countless times from students studying at schools all over, but when stepping onto the campus, I experienced a feeling unlike any other and Haverford felt like the closest thing to home for me. I can imagine that your daughter feels the same way since she’s applying ED2. Since I am not an athlete, I also have concerns about the athlete/non-athlete relationship on campus. Since about 40% of the students do participate in varsity sports and sports are taken pretty seriously, there is prone to be a natural divide due to the time athletes spend with their teammates. But, since the athletics have such a large presence on campus, no classes are scheduled from 4-7 pm, which I see as an advantage. Non athletes and athletes still live together, have classes together, and participate in other extracurriculars together, so there is still a lot of interactions taking place between those that play sports and those that do not. There are many club and intramural sports that students participate in, especially since some of them fulfill the mandatory PE requirement. There are also tons of extracurriculars that are not sports related and if a club that you’re interested in doesn’t exist, you’re welcome to create a new one. In terms of the size, I do agree that it’s very small, but the campus itself is incredibly big and since the city is easily accessible, I’m not too worried about it. To my knowledge, there are aspects of Quaker religion emphasized in the Honor Code, but outside of that, you have some control as to how much of the religion you’re exposed to and whether or not you take classes on it. I’m sorry that this has gotten so long, but I hope it helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I’ll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability! I wish your daughter the best of luck!
