[quote=Anonymous]If rigor is defined as workload, I don't think there's a meaningful difference among the top LACs. For instance, Pomona and Swat have an exchange program and, by most reports, the workload is the same. Both are great schools, but Pomona is culturally akin to Stanford--it's culturally laidback but there is a little bit of the duck syndrome in which the easygoing attitude we see above the water belies the furious paddling underneath. Swat is more like Chicago, where there's long been a culture of outward intellectual bootcampism. I think both schools are fantastic. My DS initially committed to Swarthmore but decided to go to Pomona for geographic reasons. And, FWIW, DS studies a ton (so much reading) and much more than I did at my T20 undergrad.[/quote]
