Bi-Co Relations Going Sour...

 During Dean Tidmarsh's discussion, I was surprised by her comment about the current relationship between Bryn Mawr and Haverford in regards to their requirements.  Dean Tidmarsh said that they don't collaborate on curriculum revisions when I asked, and as a student taking have of my classes at Haverford, that seems like an obvious connection to make.  I know that the bond between the two schools isn't as strong since Haverford became fully co-ed in 1980, but having similar requirements would strengthen that bond again.  I feel like many students at both schools don't take advantage of the opportunities we have to take classes at a institution with their own, mostly different course listing, which in turn weakens the social connection between the schools.  

The disconnect between the curriculum also affects students who decide to major at the other college.  If there's a Haverford students who wants to major in Cities, which isn't offered at Haverford, they might have trouble fulfilling Haverford's degree requirements and Bryn Mawr's major requirements, and vice versa.
