Eva Ingvarson Alumnus - Grad Year 1993
If you're looking for a small-town, small-school experience with smart, engaged students and teachers, Haverford is the place. The social honor code helps distinguish it from other small, liberal-arts schools, and the small class size ensures that you'll get a good education while getting to know your classmates really well. (Too well? Philly's only 20 minutes away by train.)
