IS bryn Mawr the sister school of UPENN? like Barnard for Columbia?

<p>No it is not. Barnard College is affiliated with Columbia because Barnard is actually a College of Columbia University (just as The School of Law is a College within the University). Bryn Mawr is not affiliated in the same manner. Additionally, Bryn Mawr is part of the Tri-Co and Penn which is a program between Swarthmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Penn that allows students of either college to take classes at the other colleges within the program. This also allows for cross-registration, at times, with certain colleges within the program. If anything, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore and Haverford are a lot more connected than Penn is to any of them. After all, it’s called the Tri-Co AND Penn.</p>
