[quote=Anonymous]As you may already know, Swarthmore is part of the "Tri-Co" – Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore.  You can be enrolled at one campus and take classes at the other two.  I was at Bryn Mawr, I ended up marrying someone from Haverford, and one of my roommates majored at Swarthmore.  I also dated my fair share of Swat guys.

That all being said, yeah, hugely liberal school, but it was interesting seeing the fine differences between the three campuses even though they are all highly competitive liberal arts colleges.  I will just say that young people at Swarthmore have laser beam intensity when it comes to their work – but when they are off, they party hard too.  It all came back to me when we had some neighbors who moved in across the street: a married couple who had both gone there.  They were still just as super-intense.  She was a psychologist working with everyone from war veterans to autistic kids.  He was a pediatric ER physician.  When he was on duty, he was on – I mean, he wouldn't answer a call from God himself if He paged him.  But when he was off-call, he either was up on espresso shots or down with several beers.[/quote]
