My daughter is a first year at Bryn Mawr so I can help with that. She never considered MHC, so I can’t help you there.

It seems to me that BMC attracts a wide variety of students. I think the only true stereotype is the students are all serious about their academics. My daughter wasn’t sure she’d find “her people” there (she is somewhat of a conservative capitalist), but she has a great group of friends! Everyone is very supportive.

As far as activism and causes, it’s there if you want it, but no worries if you don’t.

I personally find BMC’s location to be excellent. Lancaster Ave is a quick walk away. Easy access to Philly and lots of other schools. Also, PHL airport being fairly close to campus helps if you’re coming in from across the country.
