[quote=Anonymous]Your nephew sound just like DC who is having a wonderful time at Swarthmore. The days are just packed and academics is intense. If your nephew is prepared to put in the effort, he'll have a wonderful time at Swarthmore and have fun doing it. DC loves the learning environment (it is collaborative),professors (most are very good), friends (great bunch of really nice kids who do stuff together on and off campus) and the stunningly beautiful campus.

I agree with a previous poster who pointed out that a greater % of majors are pre-professional. I tend to think this is a good thing as it creates highly employable graduates.  But to be clear, most do take a breadth of courses beyond their major. Also, nearly 40% of Swat grads double major.

As a rule of thumb, if you did well in rigorous high school courses, you should have no problem navigating Swarthmore, even though you will feel the pressure from time to time.  If you come from an under-resourced school you would likely feel a lot more pressure.[/quote]
