<p>Anyone knows about this two?I want to apply to one and learn economics and need financial aid. many many thanks</p>
<p>Depends on what you want from a college...</p>
<p>Both are great schools...Bryn Mawr is a bit bigger and in the suburbs rather than a rural area. That being said, there is free transportation from Mt. Holyoke to several towns, and the other schools that make up the five college consortium (UMass, Hampshire, Amherst, and Smith), while Bryn Mawr kids often take classes at Haverford (a mile away), Swat, and UPenn (though less often).</p>
<p>Can't go wrong, either way. It depends on your personality and your wants.</p>

Actually, Bryn Mawr is easily the smallest of the traditional "Seven Sisters" schools, with only 1,329 undergraduates. Holyoke is more than 50% larger, at 2,100 undergraduates. Numbers from Wikipedia.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr does have more graduate programs than all of the other "Sisters" combined. But even if you include the 266 grad students, Bryn Mawr is still small.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr has about 1,700 students, if you count grad students.</p>
<p>I flip-flopped them by mistake...yikes. That's what I get for not sleeping. <em>chagrinned</em></p>
<p>You can easily- and in 1/2 hour- get into Philly from Bryn Mawr via train. MH is not near any city. Also, as stated, Haverford is closer than the other colleges are to Mt Holyoke which makes for very easy course exchange.</p>
<p>MHC is near Springfield, Amherst, Northhampton. Not much of an issue, since all the college activities are open to the 5 college kids. Just a few mintues from several student centered towns.</p>
