Haverford, Swarthmore, Williams, Middlebury, or Bates

<p>Thank you pointoforder - those are really helpful linkes. My D is particularly interested in the sciences, and possibly med school, so this was very relevant. Yes, Haverford does sound like it could be a good match, and we will be visiting it (and Swarthmore) in October. I am of course curios about the Haverford-Swarthmore comparison - is Haverford more “low key” academically that Swarthmore, is it more about balancing studies with fun? Also, what is the “green” factor - the environmental awareness and concern - like and the options for vegetarians at Haverford (and Swarthmore), and how about an active and outdoorsy student body? Those are factors that are quite positive at Middlebury, Williams, and Bates, but unclear for us about Haverford and Swarthmore.</p>
