<p>“# Philadelphia is a toilet IMO.”</p>
<p>This is a personal opinion. I think a lot of students like it there, but Swarthmore isn’t in the city. For a city school, I would say try Penn, Drexel or Temple. Then you really do have to like Philly.</p>
<h1>“The honors program is too rigid to account for everyone’s preferences. This would not be a problem if honors students didn’t receive preferential treatment from professors hoping to mold people into the next great academics… in their image of what the next great academics should be.”</h1>
<p>I have been struck by how many good courses there are outside of the Honors seminars. There are not the huge numbers of offerings as at other larger schools, but the courses are there. I have only recently come round to that opinion, because I was used to the huge number of classes my other child had to pick from at a larger university.</p>
