As already mentioned, Bryn Mawr is literally a stone’s throw from Philly – 30 minutes on the train (if it makes all stops). I lived in Philly my senior year and getting back and forth was no trouble. If you travel to Philly often enough, you can get weekly or monthly passes. If you go to Philly at night, it’s only a two-block walk from the train station to campus, but you can always call BMC Public Safety for a ride.

Bryn Mawr has a number of study-abroad programs. I participated in the summer program in Florence, Italy (which Bryn Mawr runs with UPenn). Most of my friends participated in the junior-year abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France and loved it. I wanted to go but none of the overseas programs were able to offer a sufficient number of classes for me to continue making progress in my major (Computer Science)… but Bryn Mawr did allow me to attend an engineering school for a semester during my junior year.
