We visited both this summer. Both campuses are fantastic and beautiful. Apply to both and then consider the options once accepted.

I liked BMC a little better. The small town has a bit more going on. It is on the train route to Philadelphia which is very nice. The college consortium is more functional than the one at MHC which is so spread out that it would be time consuming. BMC seems meaningfully intertwined with Haverford which is essentially across the street and also has a beautiful campus. As a parent, I like the easy access to BMC from Philadelphia so the cost and convenience of traveling back and forth is better. From what I could tell, the academics and culture were pretty similar, and seemingly dissimilar from Smith. Just my observation.
