You won't get it!
IntroductionIf you are by any means normal, don't like reading, take showers pretty often, and your clothes actually match, chances are, Swarthmore College is not the place for you! Swarthmore costs about 40 thousand dollars a year, and the average student gets about 27 thousand in financial aid. It's amazing what people do for money! That's exactly why I am here. To look on the bright side, its near Philadelphia so you can escape when necessary.
Campus Life and Social LifeAt "Swat" you can do whatever the hell you want. No restrictions what so ever. You can run around campus ass-naked, listen to music on the lawn at a piercing volume, sleep in the commons.
The parties are boring, but they are always free. What would you do for free stuff? Sacrifice your dignity and soul, not mention your sanity. Even though there aren't too many extremely fun things to do on the weekend, when there is, they are always free. Anywho, the sports teams are terrible, but that's okay because everyone here is a genius.

AcademicsHard as hell. We are in the top 3 in the nation for private liberal arts school. If you are pre-med in any form, you mine as well go somewhere else because you might end up switching majors right after Organic-Chem I. We read all day and all night until our eyes pop out and we write papers until there is nothing else you could possibly think of to write.
Student BodyNo fashion sense, over analyzes everything, intelligent, weird, lack important social skills, earthly, exotic. Everyone is into so many different things, but whatever it may be they are passionate about it. We have people from all over the world and a significant amount from CA, considering we are in PA. Its almost impossible to fit in, unless of course you don't enjoy learning 24-7.
In Closing...We would love to have more students of color on campus and anyone else who can bring a little extra spunk and flare to our campus life! No dummies, please! We need to be able to maintain our good reputation!
