Where students live
Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, and the Wayne/St. Davids stretch of the Main Line, all reachable on the SEPTA regional rail stops at Rosemont, Bryn Mawr, Wayne, and Ardmore.
There is no purpose-built student housing here — seniors rent ordinary Main Line apartments (unfurnished, 12-month leases) or split houses in Radnor and Lower Merion Townships.
