Bryn Mawr College

Bryn Mawr was the best possible choice I could have made. If I were given the opportunity to do my undergraduate years over again at any university in the country, I would choose to go back to BMC. It is a wonderful, rigorous, and extremely beautiful school that fosters a wonderful sense of community and accountability in its students. The professors are deeply engaged in their students' education, the students themselves are bright and very hard workers, and as a whole, the academic experience is second-to-none.

Now that I am an alumna, I also benefit on almost a daily basis from the network of Seven Sisters, and especially Bryn Mawr, alumnae. I have been offered jobs, higher salaries, and an almost silly amount of respect because of my Bryn Mawr degree. When I applied to doctoral programs in my field, I was almost universally admitted to the best programs in the country, most of which are Ivy League institutions.

Overall, I cannot say enough wonderful things about my Bryn Mawr experience. Though it is not for everyone—you must be prepared to work extremely hard—for those who are willing to commit to it, an A.B. from Bryn Mawr is a golden ticket to life.
