“Studying abroad was educational in more ways than I ever thought it could be. I experienced a new culture and a new language, and gained valuable new perspectives.” – Rachel Grunden ’16
Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.
Haverford has more than 145 student clubs and organizations, like the Bi-Co Gymnastics Club. The club offers both enthusiastic beginners and former champions the chance to practice their skills in twice-weekly meetings at an off-campus gym.

"I decided to teach this class when I noticed that when it comes to borders, immigration, and citizenship, discussion often sheds more heat than light. I wanted students to come to these questions with an open mind, and to find good reasons to defend their points of view." — Associate Professor of Political Science Paulina Ochoa Espejo

"We look to understand how measure and musical effects are deployed and felt in poetry and prose. The class is an extension of the idea that a poem is a combination of its sound and sense. For us there is no separation. Considering music and prosody we search for how each poem, song, or text we read seeks to find its own measure or sound, poem-by-poem." — Visiting Assistant Professor of English Thomas Devaney
