How does Swarthmore differ from Haverford?

[Anonymous]

There's a notable difference in campus size. Swarthmore resides on 425 acres, Haverford on 200.

I’m not sure this matters. Amherst is 1000 acres and most of it is empty land.

No they don’t. We are talking about Swarthmore and Haverford stay on topic. Please don’t drag this out, either. This is the last comment I will make on this.

Lol get a grip. I assume pp was replying to my comment about the rarity (or not, apparently) of ice rinks at non-NESCAC schools. It’s ok to have brief side conversations.

And now we’re taking about swarthmore and Haverford! Love to hear your on topic opinion.

Responding to a pp, Haverford was likely on fox news because the college's president had to testify on capitol hill. As an alum I was very unimpressed with the class strike and how the leadership (the adults!) handled it -- more land acknowledgements etc, as if that was the issue.

But that said, the nonpolitical kids i know who go there now seem happy, so even at a small school there are plenty of people who aren't activists or sjws who seem to like it fine as well.

Haverford if they’re at all interested in a campus community. I know it’s not typically dcum advice to tell someone to go to a “less prestigious” college, but really swarthmore has no personality outside of working all the time. If your goal is just to work yourself to the bone and have a difficult undergrad, go to Uchicago and do it with the best of the best (this is shade to neither institution, just being blunt). I just think the average LAC student will be reasonably challenged and enjoy their time more at Haverford than go to Swarthmore where the whole place can be summed up as “we’re miserable but it’s so fun!”

Does anyone know what bot this is? They always send google share links and always are boosting some ranking site instead of giving any details or analysis. It’s a waste of time to read their comments.

What's the difference?

Thirty-five years ago I went on study abroad with a guy who went to either Swarthmore or Haverford, then later I ended up in the same master's program as him. Haven't heard from him in probably 30 years, but we connected on LinkedIn like 15 year ago. Every year or two since then he springs to mind for a minute, and I wonder which school it was he went to. I check LinkedIn to find out, then forget for another year or two and check again.

And I’ll add, the ice rink convo was on-topic until the very last post, out of five total posts, so your heavy-handed topic policing has been far more off topic than the original side convo. Congrats!

Anything mentioned on Fox Propaganda in a negative light is brainlessly latched onto by MAGA people who are unable to formulate their own thoughts and called “woke” and other terms they can giggle at because they are used to own the libs.

And this makes these schools more appealing to me because i know my kid won’t have to cross paths with these people. And note that I am all for diversity of opinion and think it was stifled at many schools which is horrible. But diversity of opinion means intellectual rigor, not repeating himbos and bimbos.
