We are all friends that live in castles! The community is open, welcoming, and loving, without any caddiness or competition. Most of the dorms look like actual castles, and the campus overall looks like Hogwarts! Seriously. We have our own Great Hall!

Bryn Mawr is small. We have the most fabulous traditions. The diversity of the students. The architecture and dining hall food. The communication between profs. and students. I was a religious and political minority, but I never felt discriminated against.
