<p>My d. chose Smith over Bryn Mawr, but not because one school is “better” than another. Smith just seemed better for her. She loved Bryn Mawr, just not as much as Smith, but that was an entirely personal decision and one geared toward her own projected needs. IMO, Bryn Mawr’s campus is second only to Mount Holyoke in terms of beauty. I think we will always look fondly on Bryn Mawr even though she decided against it in the end.</p>
<p>My d. didn’t even consider Wellesley, although now she wishes she did. Like one poster’s d, she wouldn’t even entertain the idea of visiting there. </p>
<p>You can’t go wrong with any of the Seven Sister schools - and that includes Vassar, which is no longer single gender.</p>
