About Me

I’m Hallie and as a Banter Blogger, I’m excited to share my senior Bryn Mawr experience with prospective and current students alike! I’m a senior French major from the Berkshires region of Massachusetts. I enjoy photography, traveling, reading, experimenting with recipes, and good coffee. As an off campus resident this year, I live in a lively apartment building in a cozy room with a bookshelf and a view of the clocktower of Taylor Hall. When I’m not in my room studying, you can find me exploring Philadelphia with friends, in College Hall or in Carpenter — my favorite library on campus. Join me for a slice of life at Bryn Mawr, my observations and adventures!
