From Bryn Mawr College

Bryn Mawr College is a private, residential liberal arts college located just outside the city of Philadelphia. One of the original Seven Sisters, we're proud of our continued identity as a women's college and of our close-knit community of 1400 undergraduate students, which is marked by mutual uplift, dynamic thought and expansive horizons.

On our stunning campus, students hone their intellect in small classes, learn from every angle and frequently apply their knowledge to scenarios outside the classroom through research and experiential learning opportunities. Our students have access to additional academic, co-curricular and social opportunities through our partnerships with nearby Haverford College, Swarthmore College, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Bryn Mawr Traditions

academic spotlight

Traditions at Bryn Mawr establish a sense of community that lasts beyond the confines of the four-year college experience. Bryn Mawr College students throughout the years share this experience with every person who attends the College. The traditions are more than entertaining, colorful spectacles that divert participants from the intensity of study; they help create a sense of belonging.
