 Where To Stay


BRYN Mawr College

Bryn Mawr College is located in the town of Bryn Mawr, one in a string of quaint municipalities that follow the route of the regional rail line that goes from Philadelphia through its western suburbs, called the “Main Line.” The Bryn Mawr commercial street, Lancaster Avenue/Rt.30, is a 10 to 15-minute walk from the Bryn Mawr College campus.
The most convenient and least expensive accommodation is on campus, since there are no hotels within walking distance of the college. On campus housing can be booked through the ISPSO Annual Meeting Event Manager; other options must be booked independently by the conference attendees. 
Daily travel between most hotels and the AM venue will require a car rental or the use of ride share or taxi services. Note that most American hotel rooms do not come with breakfast included; please check with your booking to find out what they may offer.
