Campus Visit Notes for Swarthmore College:
Visit Description:
Swarthmore is wonderful, beautiful, everything you look forward to in college. But make sure you aren't lured in simply by the beautiful campus, and you are sure that you are ready to go to a place that is so small but extremely academically rigorous. You will not get As.
