I have a soft spot for Erdman–site of many delicious Sunday brunches that were a welcome relief from Haverford’s decidedly inferior food.

I have never eaten at Haverford, but I will agree that dining services at Bryn Mawr is not bad.

The US and Canada have a harmonized medical education system. Premed done at a Canadian university is fully acceptable to US medical schools. But Canada is the only country.

I would have loved to live in Noyes at Vassar designed by Eero Saarinen. This lounge is amazing!

Noyes, IMHO, is the single most influential college building built in the 20th century.

I wish that we had been able to go inside on our tour a few years ago – really extraordinary. I remember being struck by Ferry House designed by Marcel Breuer. Isn’t that lounge gorgeous? image|690x341
