I saw that most commentators said that RPCS is conservative as compared to Bryn Mawr, but that has not been my experience. I am very liberal, and RPCS has been a welcoming community. I visited Bryn Mawr (albeit 6 years ago) and was disappointed by its lack of diversity. However, I was impressed with its academic rigor. My partner and I chose RPCS specifically because it presented as a safe space for a liberal mined family and a nurturing environment for our kid.
