<p>how to understand BMC’s characteristics? what ppl does it like? i think it’s not enough to just browse the college website, google and wiki. thx! </p>
<p>Are the women of BMC a bit left-winger? what about the international relations and econ in BMC v.s which in Smith? Thank you for your time! :)</p>
<p>Visiting really really really helps. I really really recommend spending a night there if possible.</p>
<p>If visiting isn't possible:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Chat with current students here! Think of some questions you have, and just send them a PM or something. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you. (And once I officially become a current student, I'll be happy to talk to you too, even if I don't know as much about BMC as someone who has spent a year or more there).</p></li>
<li><p>You could probably even go and join the Class of '12 Facebook group and we'd be willing to chat. (I mention this because it is a LOT more active than CC) :D Or you could just browse- see how we talk with each other, see our interests, etc. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>And, from my point of view... most common/important characteristics of BMC students: Love of learning, passion for something. Maybe not everyone will agree with me on this, but it's still a big part of BMC. And another important element of BMC's culture is the honor code- check that out on the website.</p>
<p>And, yes, I think BMC leans towards the more liberal side of the spectrum. (I'll leave the IR and econ questions to someone that knows more about Smith/BMC's econ/IR programs.)</p>
<p>Economics and political science are two of our most popular majors, but international relations is only offered as a minor.</p>
<p>@brillar, Thank you so much for advices! :D I search the bryn mawr class of '12 on facebook and see some photos. The campus is really amazing! I love the Gothic architecture decorated with a garden-style campus. I'd love to visit the campus in winter,lol (cuz I'm a transfer applicant) haha, but I'm not sure if I should join the group cuz maybe it's weird for transfer applicants to join?</p>
<p>@b@r!um, Thank you for telling me that.</p>
<p>No, please join!</p>
<p>Thank you froghorn, I joined the group a minute ago :) hope that Bryn Mawr girls are open-minded there, haha. And it's really great that BMC's group is not a closed one as Smith. ;)</p>
<p>hi, anyone here could add me on facebook please? I really want to know someone at Bryn Mawr. :) Thank you. I will pm you if you are interested in add me. I feel a little shy to talk directly in the group without knowing anyone.</p>
<p>PM me. 10 characters.</p>
