<p>@ roderick: Not only can students at one college take classes at the other college, they can reside there. At least that’s what the admission officer said during the info session. In one of the classes my son visited at Haverford, at least half the students were from Bryn Mawr. A lot of colleges played up the cross-enrollment thing…and even the 3-2 degrees (where you’d spend what would be your senior year with your buddies starting out as a newcomer at a new college? I don’t get it.) The only truly viable cross-enrollment I saw at the places my son was considering was the Haverford/Bryn Mawr set-up. I’m sure that people actually make them work at other colleges…but not to the level where you’d give it any weight as a reason to matriculate there. I think it’s definitely part of the mix with Haverford…where students can – and do – take advantages of particularly strong specialties offered on the nearby campus.</p>
