<p>Let me chime in, as a BMC alum from years back – one of the marvelous things about Haverford/Bryn Mawr is the flexibility to study and live on both campuses, which are only 1 mile apart. The campuses are a nice walk in the fall and spring, though there is a Blue Bus which runs back and forth between campuses so you can get there for class on the other campus. </p>
<p>As a Bryn Mawr student, I appreciated my school’s commitment to women’s education. At the same time, my college experience, at my choice, was almost entirely coed. My freshman dorm at BMC was coed, with Haverford sophmores, juniors and seniors on my floor. Bryn Mawr does have single sex dorms as well. The only single sex class I had was the mandatory Freshman English at Bryn Mawr – at least then, that was the only class restricted to Bryn Mawr students. All other classes at Bryn Mawr were open enrollment on both campuses. I majored in Poli Sci at Haverford because I liked the flexibillity of the program there; I took courses to meet the Haverford major reqirements at both schools. </p>
<p>The cooperation between the schools creates a much larger, more diverse experience than either school alone could provide. Students can take classes at Swarthmore and Penn, though that takes more planning as they are each about 30 minutes away and again, back then, few students had cars on campus. </p>
<p>A wonderful LAC experience and a very special place.</p>
