While Bryn Mawr is wonderful, it is not for everyone. If you desire a school with strong athletics, large classrooms, frequent parties and greek life, this is certainly not a school for you. At Bryn Mawr, there is a strong sense of community and working together to achieve a common goal, so if you prefer a cut-throat, competitive atmosphere, you will not be satisfied. Finally, Bryn Mawr has a strong honor code, which students respect, and there is great trust between students and faculty. A person who cheats and disrespects others will not fit in here.

Anyone who is not prepared to work hard and enjoy it. The focus at Bryn Mawr is on academics.

If your schoolwork is just something you get done so you don't feel guilty drinking, Bryn Mawr is not for you.
