[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the Swarthmore perspectives.

How social are kids at Swarthmore?

By social, I don't mean drinking and partying necessarily. I mean kids hanging out and doing things together that don't involve studying. [/quote]

My son (senior at Swarthmore) always seems to be with people — studying, eating or hanging out. His roommate from freshman year is his closest friend, but they have a pretty wide circle. Not many of them, including my son, drink very much. They might go to parties sometimes but aren’t really partiers, if that distinction makes sense. They always have an elaborate group costume that they work on for weeks at Swarthmore’s big Halloween party, though!
He is friends with people from around the country and the world and from all economic backgrounds . One of the best parts of living within a few hours of his school is being able to host his friends for holidays. I had underestimated the enormous benefit of the sort of international community a school like Swarthmore can provide. For this reason alone, attending Swarthmore has been the opportunity of a lifetime for him. [/quote]
