What are some stereotypes about Bryn Mawr students?
A lot of surrounding schools think that Bryn Mawr is a school full of freaks. I don’t think that ‘freaks’ is necessarily the right term to use. There are a lot of very individual women here–I think that as a strong womens’ college, part of the appeal is that you can be as unique as you’d like to be. It’s obnoxious when people from Haverford or Swarthmore automatically peg you as that weird Bryn Mawr girl who runs around with a cape on. Not all of us are like that. However, within the school’s boundaries, you can definitely see a lot of stereotypes. You have the rugby girls, who are more often than not are partiers that date at least two of their teammates. You have the capies, who play Quidditch and spend their meals discussing anime. There are a lot of groups, and, for me at least, it’s hard to really relate to any of them.
