Read Hundreds of Quotes from Haverford College Students

Read samples from the Haverford College guide below:

Academics

“Professors are usually helpful. Like at every other school, some of them go out of their way to help you, some will only help you if they believe you are working extremely hard, and some of them don’t care. It depends on how much effort and time you put in...”

Diversity

“Diversity here is alright. I have met people from all over the world. It is kind of funny. Sometimes you wonder why someone from Korea or England would come to school in the States, and especially why they would come to Haverford.”

Guys & Girls

“Ha! It’s tough to define hot. Like at any other school, we have beautiful, pretty, normal, ugly, and hideous people. It depends on your taste. We are kind of a nerd school, so we have a lot of dorks. I mean that in a good way. Or maybe I don’t.”

Athletics

“Varsity sports at Haverford? I wouldn’t say they are a priority. I don’t think anyone comes here specifically to play on one of our teams. But I would say that some teams have some kind of a redeeming quality to them: lacrosse, baseball, basketball, and...”

Academics

One of Haverford’s keystone strengths is its faculty. A large percentage of professors live on or near campus, and it isn’t uncommon to be invited to their homes for dinner. We don’t seem to be particularly interested in attracting “celebrity” faculty (i.e. former legislators to teach political science), but we have a solid core of bright, personable academics who know how to teach. While some professors are obviously going to be better than others, the Haverford faculty is an excellent group on the whole....

Diversity

Haverford students feel that the school is not a very racially-diverse campus, as majority of students here are white. On this subject, a moderately controversial issue on campus is the Tri-Co program. Prior to their freshman year, minority students are invited to a special pre-college program with other minority students from Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore. The program’s defenders argue that Tri-Co helps these students make an easy transition into college life by building relationships with other minority...

Guys & Girls

Much of Haverford’s student body, both male and female, is on the socially-awkward side. Everyone is fairly intelligent, but some wear it on their sleeves more than others. Everyone tries to be extremely nice—even those who aren’t the most dynamic. Guys probably tend to be a little more shy than the girls who are pretty cool to just kick back with. Few students consider their peers very physically attractive, though most claim that every incoming class is more attractive than their predecessors. Is the...

Athletics

Haverford is a Division III school, and although athletes take their own sports seriously, athletics aren’t a very big part of the overall Haverford experience. They don’t play a large role in Haverford life. Some of our teams are exceptional, most notably the men’s and women’s cross-country squads and the women’s volleyball team. On the other hand, there are teams that are not-so-good, and students hope that new coaches who have recently been hired can fix this. Few students attend games, with the...
