I don’t remember much about Swarthmore’s studio art offerings except that it wasn’t a particularly strong area. The facilities were passable but not especially well funded. My son liked Swarthmore in general although neither the art studio nor the art history department is a major strength. He felt that Swarthmore’s intellectual focus and appreciation of the creative process ingeneral would compensate. Access to the finearts museum in Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr’s art history department were also a plus.

If studio art is a student’s main interest, then I wouldn’t put Swarthmore at the top of the list; if it’s in conjunction with another of the humanities, then Swarthmore has a lot to offer.
