Hi! I know this might have already been discussed plenty of time but I truly don’t know which is right for me. Unfortunately, I am an international student and I wouldn’t get to visit both campuses before I decided.

I am a prospective double major in cs and political science/government and an international student going to US for the first time.

Smith
-open curriculum
-more classes available on campus
-houses
-name recognition (sorry, this is a bit shallow)
-larger alumni network

Bryn Mawr
-better food
-much easier to register courses at Haverford
-the campus looks really beautiful
-as a prospective Computer Science major I really like the labs at Bryn Mawr
-their acceptance rates are getting lower

Okay! so originally I was leaning towards Smith because of its open curriculum but after receiving the packet from Bryn Mawr the card from the admissions office was so nice that it made me fall into making this hard decision.

Please give me some advice!!!
