But no shuttle from Swat to tri-co

Tri-co = swat, Haverford, Bryn Mawr. Students can take classes at all 3 schools. A bus runs among them all throughout the day. Apparently Bryn mawr has the best food and kids take the bus over there for dinner (according to our tour guide). Also, the 3 schools share some resources for clubs (eg a literary club).

Quaker cons. = the tri schools + UPenn. Swat has a Septa station right at the edge of campus- 25 min into center city. Kids can take classes at Penn as well. This takes more work but doable.

Intense academics, and you’re more likely to find students double majoring in say engineering and drama or some such interesting combination.
The location is much better than a lot of SLACs too.


We got the impression it was intense in an unhealthy way (from our tour guide).

My DD also noticed that people seemed less likely to walk across campus talking to friends, than other campuses we had visited .

Your headline only asked for happy students to respond.

That seems like an odd way to research something.

Do you know that UNIGO publishes responses to a range of questions from students at each school?
