My friends that are taking concentrations in gender/sexuality seem to enjoy it, but I haven’t taken any of those particular classes yet.

The English department has plenty of classes and plenty of choices- make sure you look at Haverford’s (and possibly Swarthmore and maybe University of Pennsylvania) choices as well. Haverford’s classes are very easy to sign up for- you do it in the same way as a Bryn Mawr class, with no special procedure. Swarthmore and UPenn are a bit more difficult but still very possible- all my roommates are taking at least one class at Hav and one is taking a class at UPenn too and we’re only second semester freshman.

Also- although looking at the course catalog is a good step to make, it’s VERY VERY difficult to tell if a class is going to be interesting based on the name. Looking at the catalog is better suited to seeing if BMC has classes in a particular field, I think.
