[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the campus. It feels like a country club. Rich parents can easily picture their child living there. It is a cushy setup for “smart enough” rich kids to meet other “smart enough” rich kids. [/quote]
That's not it.  Most liberal arts colleges feel like (no, they actually are) country clubs.  Middlebury is the epitome of country club colleges.  Most liberal arts colleges are also setup for ivy rejects (cough cough "smart enough").  Maybe except for Swarthmore.

We visited Middlebury and Swarthmore, totally different vibes.  Middlebury is preppy, lots of NYC private kids.  Swarthmore full of strivers, insufferable, very very intense.  Surprisingly there are very few tech immigrant kids at Swarthmore.  [/quote]

2nd gen ORM parent here. Swarthmore still doesn’t have the same brand/name recognition as the T-25’s in immigrant communities which is a shame because I’d rather have my kid at Swarthmore than at a lot of T-25’s. [/quote]

Swat wants to keep it that way[/quote]
