Customs at Haverford
Welcome Class of 2016
Customs Week is Haverford College’s orientation program designed to introduce all first-year students to college life at Haverford.
Founders Great Hall became the College’s dining center in 1907. By the time this photo was shot, the stately room had become a noisy cafeteria, where, according to one history of the College, “food fights were endemic.”
Come back tomorrow to see dining “Now”.
Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
*We have a very tiny magic 8 ball.
