I’m looking at a very wide range of colleges and attempting to narrow it down. For women’s colleges, I narrowed it down to Mount Holyoke and Bryn Mawr. What are some of the key differences? I don’t need to be in a city, as long as there are just a few coffee shops and that stuff in walking distance, I’m fine. Nothing rural. I’m interested in pursuing pre-med or just biological sciences in general. I also really want a place that feels like a community, ie welcoming and friendly students, collaborative, etc. I am very liberal and slightly into activism, but I don’t want to go anywhere too over-the-top about it. I’d rather be at a liberal, tolerant school that’s more laid back (the activism thing is one of the reasons, among others, that Smith moved down on my list). I know they both have beautiful architecture/campus which is weirdly enough kind of important to me. Lastly, do they both have a lot of horrible weather? I like snow but I’m not a big fan of constant rain. Thanks, and sorry this was so long!
