Swat is a great school but why would anyone want to leave Pomona for a semester?

Work on its image just so that it gets discussed on this forum? No, thanks.

It is most definitely a lot of work. But Swat is a top school and admits smart kids who can handle the work load. The school has parties but it is not a party school. Kids are happy, have fun, but in measure. Most importantly, it has a very collaborative not competitive culture.
Totally agree with this.
