Having graduated >25 years ago, I have been consistently impressed by the preparation that BMC gave me in generating the unexpected solution to the "unsolvable" problems. I have also been incredibly impressed by the kindness, commitment and real-world networking help provided to me by the very active and loyal BMC alumni network. I have been on both the benefactor and beneficiary sides of this network at various time points in my career. In sum, as a University of California tenured faculty, I cannot stress the non-quantifiable high value of a BMC undergraduate education for women seeking to define and "solve" a combined career-family lifestyle!

The perception of the school as being not as rigorous (as say, Swarthmore) matters just as much as the reality, at least where employers are concerned. Small class sizes make for easy interaction with professors and dynamic class discussions. Good opportunities, such as internship and research grants, are available to the best students, but many others seem to miss out. Bi-college relations (between BMC and Haverford) are superficially friendly, but uneasy underneath the surface. As a visitor to Haverford, I have often found disrespect and condescension from HC students and faculty--though, to be fair, it is a significant minority. Still, much could be done to improve bi-college relations and to dispell myths of one school being superior over the other. Sadly, the most remarkable thing that I can think of about BMC is the dining hall food, which is above-average quality. I feel that the school could do much more to make Philadelphia more accessible and to increase faculty salaries to boost the retention of visiting professors.

I graduated 17 years ago, and still feel so priviledged to have had such an amazing experience. If you attend Bryn Mawr, you will carry that institution with you for the rest of your life.

Yes, it's a "women's college" - but that doesn't mean it's a "single-sex college". They are quite different concepts. There were men from Haverford and Swarthmore, and even some male Bryn Mawr grad students, in most of my classes, but the college is filled with positive female role models - leadership positions, professors, etc. While at Bryn Mawr I barely noticed the influence of these role models, or of the environment of confidence and self-determination the college provides - but when I went to grad school (UVA) I could REALLY tell the difference. Looking back on my experiences at the two institutions, I would strongly recommend that any female with ambition and intellectual curiosity go to a women's college. While all the women's colleges remaining of the "Seven Sisters" (Vassar is now coed, and Radcliff no longer exists as a college) offer this essential benefit, Bryn Mawr offers the advantages of proximity to a major city, a mixed-gender environment, and a drop-dead-gorgeous campus.
