From Haverford College

Haverford College offers one of the finest undergraduate educations in the world.

Our students enjoy the many benefits of living and learning in a diverse community made up of students from nearly every state and more than 40 foreign countries, where 45% identify as people of color, and more than 25% speak a language other than English at home. Haverford provides a rigorous and intensely personal liberal arts education inspired by intellectual depth, collaboration, and commitment to ethical leadership. There is no place where students are more trusted, have more opportunity to shape their own path, or have a more profound impact on the overall community experience.

Haverford is located 8 miles from Philadelphia, which provides a wealth of historical, cultural, and social resources including world-class museums, renowned restaurants, sports teams, and venues for the arts. The urban environment is rich with educational, service, volunteer, career, and internship opportunities.

Haverford College Reviews

268 reviews

My experience at Haverford College has been wonderful. The Honor Code definitely plays a huge role with this. I have always felt safe walking at night on campus and am able to leave my belongings without fear it of it being taken. I feel as though I can approach my professors when I need support or accommodations and have never been turned down. It's clear that most people here respect others, faculty and the space around them (of course exceptions exist like anywhere else but are a small minority). Generally, I would say, the student population is happy, motivated, and eager to help others. Unlike Swarthmore or other selective colleges, students are collaborative, laid back, yet still strive to maintain academic excellence. Rather than only focusing on grades, Haverford students are eager to learn and contribute to the community. I would say it's fair to say that Haverford is a smaller liberal arts college version of Brown University.

Review Haverford College

Haverford is a good college. I feel extremely supported as a marginalized, low-income, individual, from clubs to staff and professors. Nobody is praying for your downfall. During the past few weeks, we have seen that the world has changed drastically and the war on Gaza has affected everyone. With this, most of my professors became very lenient with assignments, by giving extensions and allowing space for people to voice their concerns. Most staff that I have talked to support the students especially when the strike was happening. In addition, the system of take-home tests and self-scheduled exams gives me less anxiety and less pressure than I would fall under in high school. I can tell that this will be a life-changing experience. One drawback is the bubble feeling. For example, if I want to take the intro course for ENVS, there are only one or two sections, in comparison to our tri-co school Swathmore whose intro courses are bountiful. This is the one main thing I wish to change.

At Haverford, there is this wonderful system called plenary, where the whole community comes together to take part in self government and passes resolutions. Or it would be wonderful if the administration actually allowed the resolutions to be enacted.
At haverford, you get the low budget of a small college, and the lack of care of a large one. The bio major is a sick joke— horribly taught, and negatively reviewed every single year by students, but remains unchanged. Student voices are silenced here— and the administration cares about bottom line above pedagogy. Would not reccomend
