COLLEGE SPOTLIGHTS:
The UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER is one of the country's top-tier research
universities. Our 158 buildings house more than 200 academic majors, more
than 2,000 faculty and instructional staff, and some 9,300
students—approximately half of whom are women. Learning at the University
of Rochester is also on a very personal scale. Rochester remains one of
the smallest and most collegiate among top research universities, with
smaller classes, a low 9:1 student to teacher ratio, and increased
interactions with faculty.
HAVERFORD COLLEGE Quietly prestigious college of Quaker heritage. With
an enrollment of about 1,100, Haverford is half the size of some
competitors but benefits from its relationship with nearby Bryn Mawr.
Close cousin to nearby Swarthmore but not quite as far left politically.
Exceptionally strong sense of community. An overarching honor code
covering everything from the classroom to the dorm room defines student
life at Haverford College. Students schedule their own final exams, take
unproctored tests, and police underage drinking on their own. “The honor
code, in some respects, is a self-selecting system which draws many
students to Haverford. For this reason, nearly all students who come here
share common values of trust, concern, and respect for others as well as
academic integrity,” says a junior econ major. Haverford may be smaller
and less well-known than some of its peers, but it holds its own against
the finest liberal arts colleges in the country, especially for students
who want to work hard
and play hard. “Haverford offers an opportunity to work hard, be trusted,
and learn about issues, while still feeling comfortable,” says a senior.
