Bryn Mawr College Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Madison

We have great clubs and a thriving student government, plus a close knit community, but I have to be honest and say that if you're into heavy partying, Bryn Mawr is really not the place for you. It's possible to go off campus and party, either at Haverford or Swat, but if you want to stay in and head someplace, it's possible to do it something like three nights a year. I think the social life here is a really mixed bag; I wish someone had been honest with me when I was applying about how truly challenging the all women's aspect of life here is. It's hard to meet men, either to date or in a friendship setting, and although many girls here do have boyfriends or male friends, it's just not something that it's really possible to find without going off campus. There are times when it gets a little suffocating, and I think it's important to branch out and take classes at Haverford or Swat; the mixed-gender experience is an important part of college, and while the women's college thing is fantastic in terms of academics, support, and community, it can be a little hard socially.
