Hi! I’m considering BMC but I’m really worried I’d feel restricted because there aren’t many majors. Thoughts??
If you go to a restaurant for Chinese food, why do you care that the restaurant doesn’t also serve enchiladas?
You can cross register at Haverford very easily.
We visited Bryn Mawr this summer. Beautiful campus, great school so far as we could tell, and you are an undergraduate at a liberal arts college. They have sufficient breadth for almost anyone, and if you are not one of the almost everyone, then Haverford offers other options as mentioned above. If you are considering women’s colleges Bryn Mawr is very appealing.
With Haverford, Bryn Mawr does in fact offer a lot of majors. In this sense, Bryn Mawr would only seem academically small if, for reasons related to your own preferences, you would rather attend a stand-alone college with a range of academic programs comparable to that available across the bi-colleges.
Looks like a fairly lengthy list to me. You’re not going to find engineering but there are plenty of options.

What areas of academic study interest you?
Thanks everyone!
That’s the thing – while they do have a lot of majors, and I’d be very happy with their history and english, I also want a viable Jewish studies program. I don’t know that I’d major in that, so I’m hesitant to prioritize it, but I’d definitely want to take some classes in that department. So does anyone know if the BMC/Haverford religion department is good? The course offerings seemed kind of limited online 
Can’t you also take courses at Swarthmore or Penn if they’re not available at Bryn Mawr?
Have you searched the course catalog? Between Haverford’s and Swarthmore’s offerings, you’ll find several classes in Jewish studies each semester, which should provide plenty to choose from for the purposes you state.

You would likely want to start with a class on the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. However, neither Bryn Mawr nor Haverford appears to offer a full course on the text this year.
