@juillet Well I’ve done both a regular day visit and the accepted student day actually. I guess I didn’t really think of students acting differently during scheduled visits…I know I’m being a bit biased towards students’ reactions because like I said, I’m SUCH an outgoing person that I’m surprised when people don’t yell when they meet new people because hey, that’s not…actually…a normal reaction. I guess when I think about it, I did talk to PLENTY of people who were outgoing; it’s just that I spent most of my time with my host so I don’t really think about shorter interactions Lol and the Bryn Mawr people who were dancing were, well, dancers, but as a dancer myself I was very happy to see it haha!
Bryn Mawr’s honor code just seemed to be way more used than Smith’s is though. Also, I do sound like I prefer Smith, but that’s just today! Last night I was about ready to ask my parents if I could commit to Bryn Mawr. sigh
I don’t know if I should take into account the strength of my possible majors at each college, or if they’re about the same or whatever. I mean, I loved Bryn Mawr and felt really at home there. But I’m worried about the size (~1300 undergrads!) and a few other things I won’t bother you with. And with Smith, I’m a bit cautious there because I LOVED LOVED my first visit, but my last visit had such a bad vibe and I didn’t like it. I’m concerned about the two extremes, if I make any sense. Especially since my latest visit (like three days ago haha) with Smith was so bad and my visit four days ago to Bryn Mawr was fabulous, my current perception of Bryn Mawr is friendlier and a nicer place for me than Smith is. But on paper and everything Smith seems better and I just don’t know I’m sorry I’m rambling now
