<p>Bryn Mawr is the smallest seven sister at 1,300 undergraduate students (about 1,800 including graduate and post-bac programs). One of the things that lured me to Bryn Mawr as a prospective student was the sense that there was a little bit of something for everyone - the students I met were clearly intelligent and articulate, but also had great sense of humor, were down to earth, and generally interested and engaging. As a current student, that sentiment has remained true for me. Though we are small, it’s far from a homogenous environment! While there are groups of students that cover a spectrum of interests, hobbies, goals, etc., it’s very common for these groups to inter-mingle both socially and academically. Because we’re also so close with Haverford (and students can opt to live and major at either campus), that opens up an even broader pool of students to connect with. </p>
<p>While Bryn Mawr students at large pride themselves on being liberal, humanist, and open-minded, there are also conservative students on campus, although they are not in the majority. That said, regardless of personal beliefs, I have witnessed a general consensus that students want to learn from another and are interested in learning about each others’ perspectives. My best advice to you would try and arrange an overnight through the Admissions office to get a more thorough perspective on what it would mean to be a student here.</p>
