Did You Know?
- First-year students complete a roommate questionnaire about everything from music preference to sleep patterns before coming to Swarthmore. The questionnaire has had remarkable success, and most Swatties get along very well with their first-year roommates.
- Swarthmore was among the first schools in the country to offer coed rooms to students.
- First-years and sophomores will most likely end up with doubles, and juniors and seniors will probably live in singles. Most doubles and singles share bathrooms with their hallmates. Some multiple-room suites come equipped with private bathrooms, while others share hall bathrooms.
