I’m sorry that I can’t give you an exchange student’s perspective, but I’m jumping in as we do know two recent Haverford grads and one current student. All are exceptionally intellectually curious and very unpretentious. Haverford is highly respected by people who know US liberal arts colleges. Considering the small size of the school, the number of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners it has produced (as well as Rhodes and Fulbright scholars) is impressive. It would not be difficult for your son to take a train to Philadelphia, NYC, Boston, or DC to enjoy cultural activities, sporting events, & other big-city experiences. I would think a year there would be of value to your son. What are his reasons for wanting to study there?

No doubt you’ve seen this, but just in case:
