Swattie, Wanna Get Down?
Oh parties at Swat. You have high expectations coming in, but honestly the parties here tend to be repetitive. Free booze and decent music is what you get at Paces or the Frats. But honestly, it's fun going out to them especially once you establish a good group of friends to go out with. Although you will find yourself complaining that there is nothing to do on a Friday night, you'll come to realize that you gotta use that intelligence that you got you in to Swarthmore in the first place in order to have a good time.

What Parking?
The percentage of students on campus is relatively low since the majority of students live within a mile of campus. It's convenient to be able to walk everywhere in less than 25 minutes (and it only takes this long is you get oh so lucky to live in Mary Lyons). For those who still feel the need to bring a car have fun with the people that administer the parking permits. You have to give a REALLY REALLY REALLY good reason that you need to park on campus.

Need Blind Indeed
I was rather lucky in the sense that Swat lived up to its need-blind philosophy. I received the financial aid I needed with little protest from the fin. aid office. Scholarships that aren't need based are harder to come by, but they are available.
