[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is Swarthmore like for an athlete? [/quote] My daughter attends Swarthmore and has friends at a couple of NESCACs. Athlete/non-athlete divide at Swarthmore not as prominent as at, say, Colby or Williams. Sports (except for basketball) aren’t as strong as the NESCACs either, and there’s no football, which might explain some of that. Williams is the best D3 sports program in the country and the jock/nerd fault line is pretty clear. (Don’t get me wrong - love me some Williams. But it was my observation when we visited and she has since spent time there and also sees it.) Sports are definitely a time commitment and she’s in engineering so it’s a challenge. Swarthmore academics are very demanding, even more if in the honors program or loading up on seminars. [/quote]
