On the contrary, I think you’re perfect for Swat! Most people are Swarthmore are just like that - serious about academics, social justice, etc., but lots of fun.
I can assure you that you will not run out of people who’ll happily go on roofs with you or pretend to be other people in shops.

I think Swatties do tend to be nerdy and awkward, but not in bad ways. We’re nerdy in that we’re often obsessed about many quirky things, and we’re frequently awkward, but neither detracts from the fact that we’re all extremely friendly and welcoming. I think that given your description of your personality, you’ll fit right in with many people at Swat and won’t have an issue making friends at all. Rooftops are great for bonding!
