<p>“There is plenty of healthy food in Swat’s dining hall. I didn’t realize that the salads, cereals, fresh fruits, sandwiches, and vegetarian entrees were all fried too.”</p>
<p>salads - no nutritional value
cereals - highly processed. ultimately unhealthy for you
fresh fruits - let’s be honest; they’re not fresh
sandwiches - if i wanted to make my own food all day (esp sandwiches) i’d just forget about using the meal plan
vegetarian entries - yes, those are fried too</p>
<p>““Any student who could get into swarthmore obviously could do much better grade-wise anywhere else, and not have to go through the unnecessary 1-2 years of extra education simply to compensate for a lower-than-accepted-average GPA.”
Uhh… I’m not so sure. Swarthmore isn’t exclusive in its practice of ‘weeding kids out.’”</p>
<p>Look - there’s a reason why many graduate schools rank Swarthmore as the single hardest school in terms of grading. The real question is, how much do we get compensated for this? My guess is probably not enough.</p>
