College Prowler Take
Students who live off campus miss a huge part of Bryn Mawr life, so very few students recommend it. If you must live at home, you can be accommodated. If you want to live off campus, there are a few options. Through the Bi-College exchange, Bryn Mawr students may live at Haverford and vice versa, though this hasn’t been very popular since the 1980s. There are cheap apartments and houses for the many college students in the area. These are generally populated with Villanova students, but they are within walking distance of Bryn Mawr. Students who take many classes at UPenn might find it more convenient to live in West Philly or University City, where student housing is plentiful. Living off campus, you will have to make an extra effort to stay in touch with the Bryn Mawr community in terms of social and extracurricular life, if you still desire to be a part of that. Since so few people live off campus, those who do are often isolated. Students Speak Out

As of this year, Bryn Mawr offers a very limited number of apartments near the campus, serviced by the campus shuttle. Aside from this opportunity, there are very few apartments in the area that are affordable to the average college student. There are cheaper apartments in the surrounding towns, but you have to be willing to take the train every day to class.

It's possible and fairly convenient to live off-campus, but most people choose not to do so because of our gorgeous dorms and the sense of community on campus.

I don’t know very many people who lived off campus, but I know that there are many apartment buildings on the Main Line. I think living on campus allows you to have your friends close, but having a single allows you to still have your own space. |

I don’t think you should live off campus at Bryn Mawr. The dorms are nice, and the school keeps you busy enough that it is just more convenient to stay on campus. It is cheaper to live off campus, but buying groceries is so expensive, and there are hardly any good places near campus to do that. |

Since students are guaranteed...
Since students are guaranteed on-campus housing for all four years, I recommend living on campus for at least three of those years. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to get away, and sometimes you can feel fairly isolated from the ‘real world’ if you don’t get off campus occasionally. |
