<p>My child goes to Philadelphia often to see jazz or classical concerts, etc. with his friends. So it is easy to get back and forth for a change of scenery. Also, you can get away cheaply on the Bolt Bus to NYC, and you aren’t far from Baltimore or Washington, either, if you really want an adventure. Students also have their own parties aside from the school parties, and there are also events like plays and concerts on campus. That’s one good thing about Swat, you don’t have to spend much on your social life. </p>
<p>My kid says that the dominant personality type is “brilliant” and that he’s amazed at how many different kinds of intelligence people show. Also, that most people are passionate and intense learners, and full of quirky interests.</p>
