<p>Are courses generally more rigorous in Bryn Mawr or Haverford?
Any examples?</p>
<p>Can somebody answer… :)</p>
<p>I’m interested in knowing how rigorous the courses are, too.</p>
<p>They are very similar - rigorous. You go to these schools becasue you like to study (or see the value in it).</p>
<p>Many courses are taught by the same professors and many students take courses at both schools. Class schedules are staggered to make it easier to get between schools for classes.</p>
<p>I second sanapplecap2-- both schools are rigorous. Depends on the particular class, really, but both schools have very difficult classes. For example, the Bio department is hard at both places, but Calculus is harder at Haverford than at BMC. However, you take an anthropology class at BMC and it’s probably going to be more rigorous than at Haverford because BMC has the whole archeology/art history dept. If you are trying to avoid rigor, don’t even think about going here. You can’t find a class that’s not rigorous. Even just being in the BiCo community chorale was rigorous-- lots of hours every week and specific pre-req’s of music knowledge to get in. But rigor is good if you like to learn and be challenged. My brain is never static.</p>
<p>It varies by department, and often by professor within a department. In my own experience math, computer science and economics are more rigorous and fast-paced at Haverford than at Bryn Mawr across all levels. (In fact, it is not rare for the stronger majors in those two disciplines to be advised to take their courses off campus, or else to start taking graduate courses at Bryn Mawr as soon as their sophomore year.) I have heard the opposite about chemistry and some of the humanities.</p>
<p>In practice it does not really matter because we can choose to take our classes at either campus.</p>
<p>I am obsessed,lol</p>
