Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students are quick to gush about the school’s architecture, but they are quieter when asked about the actual facilities provided on campus. The Campus Center juggles roles as the administration building, the home to UnCommon Grounds Café, the student bookstore, and a meeting place for students. It is also a center of political activity when clubs set up tables to spread their causes. Sports teams, individual Mawrters, and even professors frequent the fitness center to use its female-friendly equipment, but all three groups demand more machines, especially for use at peak hours. Several sports teams have also pointed out a need for a more extensive renovation of the gym.

Goodhart Auditorium and Thomas Great Hall’s inspiring architecture make grand halls for concerts and speakers. With its convenient location—just a few steps from the main academic buildings—the computer center affords students a quiet and well-equipped workplace. Bryn Mawr is currently renovating Goodhart to make more room for student performance spaces, and a renovation of the gym is planned to add more machines and do something about the dismal lighting and paint.

Small Campus, Small (But Good) Facilities

For such a small campus, we have great facilities. The libraries are great, we have tons of books and the hours are decent. Bryn Mawr also has an amazing new gym. It is BEAUTIFUL and has tons of great equipment, as well as a lot of fun classes to sign up for. However, since it's a small campus, it is just going to lack what a big university can offer. For instance, I've found there isn't many places to study on campus beside the library and your own room. Sometimes I wish there was a cozy place I could go besides the noisy campus center and the library just to hang out and do some reading.

Everything You Need

The facilities at Bryn Mawr are great. For a women's college the gym is oriented for women who want to go there and stay in shape and its a great place to work out. It's really beautiful and it was redone this last year. The campus center is in a great location and has the coffee shop, bookstore, mailboxes and plenty of space to hang out. Bryn Mawr has everything you need and the campus is the most beautiful I've ever seen.

I Love the Libraries!

We have three libraries for students to use. The resources in our system and the people there to help are both equally helpful. They try to stay up-to-date with technology, and have recently replaced a lot of the computers. There are lots of couches and places to get comfortable while setting, but also hundreds of private study carrels. My favorite library is Carpenter because of its architecture, and huge windows.

Favorite Things To Do

Students are more likely to rent videos from the library than go to the film series movies, but both are popular. The treadmills at the gym are always busy. The Lusty Cup Café is most crowded when it is hosting a local singer/songwriter or a bunch of club meetings, but students can always be found studying there. During the day, students can drop by the Campus Center to find an organized public discussion raging, or in the evening hear a prominent speaker address the community in Thomas Great Hall. When it snows, everyone goes “traying” down the slope to Rhoads Beach on dining hall trays.

Take a walk down to the gym to run, swim, or lift weights. Break up your studies with a foreign film in Thomas. Later, you can get your caffeine fix at the Lusty Cup Café, in the basement of Canaday, or quench your thirst at Uncommon Grounds. In the evening, attend a small musical performance in Aelwyd, one of Bryn Mawr’s new student houses on Cambrian Row.
