What are some stereotypes about Bryn Mawr students?

That we're either man-haters or desperate;

Are the stereotypes accurate?

Not quite--I feel that many people are intimidated by us because by chosing to go to an women's college we already have a sense of ourselves that most college students need to develop while being away from home for the first time. I feel that most women here have a certain confidence that can be intimidating on the outside.

Bryn Mawr: The Big Picture

The traditions are fantastic. If I had gone to a larger university, I would have rushed for a sorority, however at Bryn Mawr, you're automatically part of this giant campus-wide sisterhood.

Bryn Mawr Academic Life

The professors for the most part know your name--My Arabic class is the only section for both Haverford and Bryn Mawr and I'm one of five people in the class--perhaps this is because the academics are challenging, but you get much more out of your classes than notes and facts. You get a chance to explore your opinion on WHY something is the way it is.

Bryn Mawr's Student Body

The style here is much more varied than I expected: At most women's colleges one assumes every girl will be wearing sweatpants and going bra-less to class, but every Bryn Mawr girl has a certain style--sporty, indie, preppy, boho--everyone stands out just a little bit. At bi-co parties, you can always point out the Bryn Mawr girl--the girl who isn't wearing one brand head to toe, the girl who is put together with a certain twist.

In Closing ...
