Best of Swarthmore College

Pretty Good

I've had complications with the registrar's office in getting my schedule together but other than that everything has been excellent. The professors are interesting, accomplished, and try hard to engage the students. The work is manageable, though sometimes requires overnighters to complete the job. If there is a need for quality study time then there are plenty of areas to go to, including the dining hall.

Diversity Is Great

Swarthmore College is incredibly diverse. I see new people every day and they always have something new about them. There are many races and cultures represented, and all beliefs (political, religious, and sexual orientation) are accepted and welcomed. This school rocks.

Laid Back Staff

The college is pretty laid back about its students. It asks you to behave responsibly. There aren't really serious consequences for drinking, eg. Also, RAs don't have actual power to punish students. The deans are pretty responsive when you have problems, maybe a little bit too much so.
