@rubaiyat, That sounds like a wonderful experience at Bryn Mawr! I can’t help but feel disappointed that my D just didn’t end up with those same impressions. I do think it’s a wonderful school, and D liked the people. That campus is amazing!
I have ‘mentioned’ it several times since the visit, but so far D remains unconvinced. She did tell me a bit more about the class she sat in on that left a poor impression. She said a couple of the other students in the class even apologized to her, saying that class was the worst…that sort of thing…so that implies that it isn’t typical, but that’s the one she saw, and it was a class that would be part of her major. :-(
She wants to be near a big city, but I suspect Philadelphia just isn’t checking that box in the way that Boston and DC are.

There is still time. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out! Good luck to your D. I hope she gets good news when that envelope comes in!
