Haverford: The Big Picture
Haverford is a lovely place to be. Safe: very little theft, little to no sexual assault, a great social atmosphere, great classes. It's a fabulous place to spend four years. Yes, it's a bit small and can get a little stifling, but it's easy to make friends and they are always willing to listen (because they usually have the same things to complain about).
Haverford Academic Life
Great classes if you're ino English, Anthropology, or Science. Other things are a bit more bland.
Haverford's Student Body
Too many jocks. Not enough pretty people.
Haverford Student Activities + Social Life
Haverford has way too many A Capella groups. There are three Co-ed ones, two all-male, and two all-female. In each category, only one group is really any good, so I just wish we slimmed it from 7 to 3 groups. Our literary magazine is a pretentious joke - the people who help organize it, myself included, are more concerned with ripping writers a new one than actually puttnig together a readable, entertaining magazine. And for the most part, if you don't shop, party, or sing, extracurriculars are obsolete.
Haverford Naked Truth
As a Fine Arts major, I feel terribly overlooked in terms of academics. There are few option in terms of classes, the major requirements are a joke, and the facilities are shabby. Yes, we are able to take classes at Penn, but with the numner of students at Penn already taking these classes and rigidness of each schools scheduling, it's nearly impossible. And the heads in the Fine Arts Department feel like you're giving them the finger if you try to take a class there.
