If you are interested in anything (a class, an internship, a research opportunity), don't be afraid to reach out and ask! Bryn Mawr is what you make of it, and everyone from peers to professors to alumnae is excited to help. 

"The ability to take courses across multiple departments and disciplines gave me confidence in an interdisciplinary future."

"The thing I absolutely adore about Bryn Mawr is the level of familiarity I have come to develop with my professors. Even though I have taken classes across many departments and, by the nature of my major, across the Bi-College, I have never felt as though my professors are an unknown entity."

"Remember that wellness and self-care isn’t something that you have to earn!"

"The community at Bryn Mawr empowered me to envision a bright future, which I strive for with tears, joy, and lots of love. As I proceed towards my future, I appreciate that the Bryn Mawr community has, and will always be, a part of my life."

"My time in the Energy Afterlives 360 Course Cluster in 2023 changed my life. It introduced me to professors, students, and theories that fundamentally influenced my outlook on the world. It informed my decision to double-major in Geology and History, and expanded my idea of what a college course could be."

"Having the most random combination of majors or minors isn't unusual here. The school doesn't ask you to choose between your interests. For someone whose interests don't fit one track, that mattered."

"Bryn Mawr taught me how to use my love of learning to succeed. Whether through working on assignments between classes, discussions with my friends or classmates, or putting in the work at rowing practice, every day that I've been at Bryn Mawr has been an exercise in adaptation and growth. "

"The liberal arts and Bryn Mawr experience is set up to ensure you do not have to limit yourself but rather you can venture out (and we encourage you to do so) and receive amazing education and support in all subjects and aspects."
