I am absolutely in love with Haverford. I could not have picked a better place to be! Everything about this school is wonderful--the classes, the campus, the honor code, the customs program, and especially the people. It's an incredible place to be.

Some really terrible professors, notably in the Economics department. The school is underfunded and offers little financial aid at best.
