Yes, work will be tedious at times, but Mawrters at large are resourceful and definitely abide by the “work hard, play hard” mantra. On the days I have a lot of work, I still feel pretty connected to the world. By living in a small dorm I interact with a lot of visible neighbors (we aren’t just hiding away in our rooms), and meeting up with friends for meals. Bryn Mawr is a great balance because you have a campus to come home to do work on but it’s so easy to walk into town to catch a movie and get dinner or even take a 20 minute train to Philadelphia. As I’ve said many times, I truly believe Bryn Mawr is the best of all worlds. The free bus system between Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore runs very regularly and makes you feel like you’re part of a larger university. I definitely think Bryn Mawr students are as social as they are studious. You’ll find a perfect niche for whatever you’re looking for.
