Why I came to Bryn Mawr, and why I chose to stay:
I came to Bryn Mawr because I felt this was the place I could explore STEM in a nurturing, woman-centered environment. I have found that my professors have built me up to pursue my passions for science and mathematics even when it gets difficult. I have chosen to stay for that reason primarily, but also because I love Bryn Mawr’s essence-quirky traditions, a history that I feel every time I walk by the castle-like buildings, and the wonderful friends that I have made. I feel at home.
