Haverford College

Haverford is a wonderful school that challenges students on many levels. You grow a lot here, and will be very well prepared for life after college. I don't think that any other school could have had such a positive impact.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

Although Haverford is ranked as a school where students seem to never stop studying, homework is not as intrusive or causes students to become as anti-social as that sounds. Haverford students are "cool dorks." Most students are friendly, engaging, interesting, and like to have a good time. The heavy workload just means that people have to prioritize their time more in order to balance fun and work. And like every other college, we enjoy our share of toga parties, walks of shame, and games of flip cup. And just because the majority of the student body doesn't get drunk every night doesn't mean that their are other fun options during the week. There are lots of musical groups brought in to play from Philly, there are nice snack bars to hang out, there's a new game room with a huge TV and some pool and ping pong tables. Plus there's always just hanging out in the dorm room with your friends and watching a good DVD.
