Campus Strictness at Haverford College

Honor Code Rules!!!

At Haverford we have, in my opinion, the best honor code anywhere. Period. When asked what was the most important thing Haverford gave them, most alumni respond it was the principles and inspiring results of the honor code. Because of it, students run the alcohol policy, do take home tests and develop a genuine trust and belief in the ability of others to remain in integrity with their ethics without external force. Haverford College doesn't need strictness, students have an innate sense of responsibility which they carry on throughout their lives.

Academia at Haverford

Overall, the academics at are wonderful. The professors are approachable and always willing to help if there are any questions or concerns. The registration process is swift and the move in is more than exceptional. The workload is a lot at times, but everyone finds a way to manage their time and stress loads. Studying abroad is very common. Haverford very accommodating to every thing a student needs. The popular study area is Biology because our program is very intensive and prestigious, but psychology is another popular subject as well as the education program.

Campus Housing at Haverford College

Housing Is Great!

Freshman housing is wonderful-if you want a single on a floor of people you will get to know very well, Haverford is for you. Over 60% of the rooms on campus are singles, organized into suites or halls ready for your group of friends to move in. Also great are the apartments, which house from two to four people who share a kitchen, common room, and bathroom. This is the best option if you like having a ton of space and 24 hour availability to your own cooking space.
