You can definitely still do internships during the school year. I know students who have done internships in the suburbs and in th city, from small poetry presses to non-profits downtown. You can even get school credit through the Praxis program: http://www.brynmawr.edu/ceo/programs/praxis/levels.html

During the summer, Bryn Mawr will even fund your research or internship: http://www.brynmawr.edu/summerfunding/

Bryn Mawr has a lot of academic supports in place to ensure your academic success. It’s the smallest of the Seven Sisters (but still nicely sized at 1,300 undergrad), so you’ll definitely get to know professors. Your Dean is your go-to contact for any and all questions or concerns during your time at BMC. They can help you with everything from course registration to tutoring to study abroad. They’re with you all four years and really get to know you as a person. Here’s an outline of support services: http://www.brynmawr.edu/academicsupport/StudentSupportServices.html

The closeness of BMC is definitely a mix of all those things. I think traditions really bind us together, not only with current students, but alums, as well. It’s a really powerful experience. I loved Hell Week and May Day most. Though Lantern Night is sooo beautiful and moving. You can read more about them on the BMC site.
