Bryn Mawr College Named Nation's Most LGBTQ-Friendly School

BRYN MAWR, PA — Bryn Mawr College has a lot to brag about now that the Princeton Review has published its annual list of the 385 best colleges in the country.

On the overall list of the best 385 colleges, the Princeton Review says the colleges aren't ranked in order from No.1 to No.385. Colleges are ranked on the more specific lists like "best campus food," "best college newspaper" and "party schools."

Bryn Mawr College was ranked very highly in several categories.

According to the publication, BMC is the No. 1 school for LGBTQ-friendliness and the most active student government.

It was also ranked the No. 2 most beautiful campus.

Other notable ranks for Bryn Mawr College include:

• No. 4 — Most Liberal Students
• No. 6 — Best College Dorms
• No. 9 — Nobody Plays Intramural Sports
• No. 14 — Nobody Plays Intramural Sports
• No. 17 — Best Campus Food

BMC was one of 29 Pennsylvania schools to be featured o the list, which looked at the best 385 colleges. See the full list of PA schools on the list here.

"We chose the 385 colleges for this edition as our 'best' overall, academically, based on data we gathered in 2018–19 from more than a thousand school administrators about their schools' academic programs and offerings," Robert Franek, Princeton Review's editor-in-chief and the lead author of the book, said in a press release.

Princeton Review says the colleges on the best 385 list are selected primarily based on the organization's "high opinion of their academics."

Princeton Review closely analyzes more than 2,000 schools and collects feedback from students, educators, parents and advisors. The 62 specific lists that rank the top 20 schools in each category are compiled using a student survey.
