Bryn Mawr vs. Carleton?

<p>I don’t know that much about Carlton so I can’t speak to their programs, but I would really encourage you to spend some time looking at potential academic interests on Bryn Mawr’s website. Classics is one of our strongest and oldest departments. Because we also have a Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, you could pursue a combined AB+MA degree in Classics. I’m enrolled in a similar program in History of Art and it’s a really great option if you’d like to expedite graduate school (while only paying for undergrad tuition!). As previous posters have mentioned, you can also take courses at Swarthmore, Haverford, and UPenn. It’s a really simple process and provides students with a breadth of opportunities both academically and socially. Students at Haverford and Bryn Mawr can even major at either college regardless of their home institution. </p>

<p>I also can’t say enough about the location. Bryn Mawr has a beautiful, classically collegiate campus, but you’re also 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia and only two hours to New York or DC. It’s really easy to take weekend trips to either city or just day trips to go to museums or concerts. Bryn Mawr is also a very close-knit community. You’ll have a huge support system, from your fellow hallmates to peers in your department to administrative assistance. People want to get to know you and they want you to succeed - that’s why we’re all here, to empower women to pursue whatever they want to accomplish. </p>
