Are you saying you’ve never lived in a dorm room that didn’t have mice? That sounds like some bad luck to me, or maybe you didn’t have the cleanest room on campus. I went for four years in dorms and never had mice in my dorm room, and I think I even had some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups a few times.
That’s good advice, but people who love to study and learn and who are driven by it also shouldn’t assume they’ll like Swarthmore. For some of that group, Swarthmore will not be a good fit.</p>
