<p>What do you think “IMO” means? It means that’s my opinion. However, I should point out that it’s not just my opinion. Philadelphia is currently ranked the [5th</a> most miserable city in the nation](<a href=“http://www.forbes.com/2008/01/29/detroit-stockton-flint-biz-cz_kb_0130miserable.html]5th”>America's Most Miserable Cities) according to Forbes. And, yes, Swarthmore is not a city school, but its proximity to Philadelphia as a “world class city” is often cited as a plus. I’m saying it’s not a plus, because Philadelphia is a toilet. Swarthmore itself, the town, is pretty unexceptional and largely irrelevant to anything that goes on on campus.</p>
