[quote=Anonymous]My nephew, a HS junior, recently visited Swarthmore and really liked it. He's a quiet, amiable, friendly, thoughtful kid with a wry sense of humor. He is being recruited to play a team sport. He's an excellent student and will have many options. Our family includes alums of several highly-ranked LACs, but no Swarthmore grads. There's a lot of pressure on my nephew to go to one of these other schools. Last night, as we gathered for pre-Thanksgiving pizza, some family members were open about their perception that Swarthmore students are, in general, unhappy. I felt terrible for my nephew and refrained from joining in, though I've certainly heard this critique of Swarthmore before (and though I'd love for him to attend my own alma mater). If you have a child or close family member who attends or recently graduated from Swarthmore, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the campus vibe. Thank you! [/quote]
