<p>I’m back (I know, I know, even though I shouldn’t be). I’m actually pondering sending in a formal request to extend my acceptance decision, because this decision is so damn hard. From this post, Swarthmore does sound more fun than UChicago (although perhaps also, less course material…). What are everyone’s opinions though, on the merits/education gained from going to school w/ mostly liberal people who agree with you vs. a more diverse political body, especially if you’re someone who KNOWS you will be active in social causes regardless?</p>
