<p>Hi! I’m also a prospective anthropology and economics major and I applied to Haverford ED and here’s why.</p>
<p>Anthropology
I really liked the courses at Haverford. I think they give a very sound grounding in anthropology because the courses go into anthropological theory as opposed to application of it.</p>
<p>Recent graduates in anthropology have also done really well. For example, [Jennifer</a> Zelnick '12 Named Luce Scholar](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/news/stories/58271/51]Jennifer”>http://www.haverford.edu/news/stories/58271/51). The interesting thing about Haverford is that it has the [Center</a> for Peace & Global Citizenship](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/CPGC/]Center”>http://www.haverford.edu/CPGC/) which allowed her to do ethnographic research in Indonesia during the summer. You can read more at [Haverford</a> College: Department of Anthropology : Welcome](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/anthropology/news/]Haverford”>http://www.haverford.edu/anthropology/news/). You can see from this list ([Haverford</a> College: Department of Anthropology: Senior Thesis](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/anthropology/senior_thesis/full_list.php]Haverford”>http://www.haverford.edu/anthropology/senior_thesis/full_list.php)) of senior theses that many were conducted outside of the United States. This was also made possible by the CPGC ([Center</a> for Peace & Global Citizenship](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/CPGC/programs/index.php]Center”>http://www.haverford.edu/CPGC/programs/index.php)).</p>
<p>Economics
Economics majors are allowed to take classes at Wharton.

<p>Size of school
Coming from a high school that was just over 1.5 times the size of Haverford, I understand where you’re coming from. I’m really not sure what your high school class size is but I feel that the small size of Haverford allows you to have close interactions with your peers. There’s also the opportunity to take classes at Bryn Mawr, which many students do, and so you’ll get to know more people too. It’s more difficult to take classes Swarthmore and Penn but they are options that you should definitely consider if you decide to come to Haverford.</p>
<p>Two things that haven’t been touched on are the honor code and the customs program. Here’s more info:
[Honor</a> Council](<a href=“http://honorcouncil.haverford.edu/]Honor”>http://honorcouncil.haverford.edu/)
[Haverford</a> College: Customs](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/customs/]Haverford”>http://www.haverford.edu/customs/)</p>
<p>If you’re still not convinced, join the Facebook group (Haverford College Class of 2016) to ask questions and have them answered! There’s also a web chat on Wednesday so you can ask these questions too.</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptances and I hope you choose Haverford.</p>
