Bryn Mawr College ^[9] is a private women's liberal arts college in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

In 1885, the private women's liberal arts college Bryn Mawr College was established. "Large hill" is the literal Welsh meaning of bryn mawr. Both sexes are welcome at the Graduate School. A representative of the Pennsylvania Railroad changed the name to honor the town of Bryn Mawr, where the campus is situated. In the 1680s, Rowland Ellis received an estate in the area from William Penn that was named Bryn Mawr. A property close to Dolgellau, Merioneth, Gwynedd, Wales, was Ellis's previous residence, also known as Bryn Mawr.
