#34 Best Colleges in America
Alum : I graduated from Haverford in 2019. I chose it over 6 other elite schools (including Williams and Bowdoin), and have never regretted my choice.
The academics are rigorous, and if you put in the work, you can absolutely get a very high quality education. I really loved going to a school with an honor code that is ingrained in the culture of the school, from the social to the academics. It's not a perfect system, but it makes a big difference. Writing a thesis was also incredibly rewarding.
The culture can be a little difficult at times, with an athlete-non-athlete divide and clashing of opinions (the student body ranges from extremely liberal to moderately conservative, which can result in some disagreements).
I absolutely had my problems with some things at Haverford, but the student body is committed to improving its school, and having seen other colleges post-grad, I can see that Haverford is better than just about anywhere else.
