James House is a student-governed home for the arts, open to all members of the Haverford community, at all hours of the day. The space is a comfortable, relaxed place for art-inclined students to hang out.

The study of music at Haverford encompasses everything from academic study in the major to a robust concert series and countless student performance groups. (Haverford has more a capella groups per capita than any other school.)

“There is nothing like getting a sense of the world through traveling and immersing yourself in a different culture.“—Elena Satten-Lopez ’12

Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.

More than 40% of Haverford students participate in varsity athletics such as our men’s cross country team, which won the NCAA Division III title in 2010-11 and are returning to Nationals.

Academic departments maintain state-of-the-art research instrumentation for both research and teaching. The equipment that students learn to use in introductory courses plays a major role in both their research and in classes such as Superlab.
