Haverford students enjoy access to Bryn Mawr’s campus in addition to their own--but the immediate area, a wealthy Main Line suburb, leaves something to be desired. It caters mostly to its upscale residents, though the town does also offer some stores and restaurants geared towards college students, as well as a small movie theater. A light-rail train that stops right near campus is an easy way into Philly and vibrant South Street, although ’Fords complain that it isn’t cheap. Students with cars can take advantage of the immense King of Prussia Mall.

Haverford’s 400-acre campus, located about ten miles outside Philadelphia, is lush, peaceful, and green. Because it is an arboretum, labels accompany the hundreds of different kinds of trees students see as they cross the quads or walk the school’s official 2.25-mile-long Nature Trail. Some of the Gothic buildings date back to the 19th century, and the others—including a new athletics center and new science center—were built to look good alongside them. The school, like many small liberal arts colleges, does not have an official student union. Students, freed by the moderate Mid-Atlantic weather, often hang out outside by the huge picturesque duck pond or on Founder’s Green. They also meet up at the bustling Lunt Café in the basement of the Lunt dorm or at the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) Café.

98 percent of Haverford students live on campus near the Dining Center, most of them in singles (even the freshmen). Gummere Hall: a coed first-year residence hall with single rooms grouped in four-person suites. Barclay Hall: a coed first-year residence hall with singles, doubles, and three-person suites. Haverford College Apartments (HCA): a residence hall that is coed by floor but not by apartment, with four freshmen per each two-bedroom apartment. Each apartment has a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator. Cadbury House: a substance-free quiet dorm. Reid House: the Black Cultural Center, which doubles as a dorm. Casa Hispanica: the Hispanic center, which also doubles as a dorm. All buildings come with laundry facilities and high-speed internet, and there are no residential advisers. Instead, ’Fords bond with their hallmates and their Customs Person the first week of freshman year.

Haverford is a Division III school with no football team. The student body tends to place more emphasis on off-beat club and intramural sports such as juggling, table tennis, and kayaking. Cricket has recently become popular. More traditional sports on campus include rugby, soccer, volleyball, ice hockey, crew, and golf. The Men’s Outdoor Track and Field and Cross-Country teams have won fourteen Centennial Conference Championships in a row, and the Men’s Team finished second in the 2007 NCAA National Cross Country Championship. Women’s Volleyball has also been successful of late, winning the Centennial Conference two years in a row, as has Fencing—the team was undefeated in 2007 and won its third championship.
