If Swarthmore returns with an affordable package, take it. After all, you applied ED.
If not, you probably have a month till you have to decide whether you attend URichmond or an alternative. A full ride to uRichmond is likely the best Plan B I’ve heard of this year so far
For what it’s worth, URichmond may not be as intellectual as Swarthmore but it’s definitely not a slouch academically nor a rah-rah party school, and, depending on majors, you’ll find plenty of intellectual peers (minor in philosophy if you’re truly worried, but most social science and Humanities majors will be challenging and full of intellectually curious students.)
