[quote=Anonymous]Why do people see Swarthmore and Princeton as so different? To my DC, for example, they're both academically-challenging undergraduate-oriented schools with strong bio departments and places where a student with diverse academic interests can indulge them (or where a student who is uncertain about major will have lots of attractive options). They're both located in affluent suburbs on the Northeast Corridor, a couple hours from home via Amtrak and less than an hour from another major city via commuter rail (with a station located on the edge of campus). Both have athletic opportunities DC finds attractive. Neither has a med school or hospital. Both have honors theses. Neither has a core curriculum Yeah, one's a SLAC (so no grad students) and one's a research university. The SLAC is smaller than the Ivy (and course offering reflect that), but the similarities are greater than the differences given DC's preferences and interests.[/quote]
