[quote=Anonymous]My kid had an outstanding year at Swarthmore. They chose it over Dartmouth, UPenn and UChicago. I was a bit concerned about its small size but my concerns were misplaced. They have an extremely busy calendar with academics, activities and club participation. Socially it has been wonderful, they have built a bunch of wonderful friendships with smart, rounded fun kids with diverse interests. Academics have for the most part been what Swarthmore is billed out to be - small classes, engaged professors, a lot of work - the only exception is one terrible prof (RMP ratings for that professor are low, but it is a mandatory course for a particular major). The one concern (it could be a plus, who knows) , is that the culture at Swarthmore is not competitive it is very collaborative which suits my kid fine. But I think in the real world you need to have sharp elbows and it seems Swarthmore doesn't care much for those skills. [/quote]
