I was recently admitted ED and visited campus in early October and I have to say that students aren’t anti-social by any means. The campus is filled with activists, athletes, and artists (how about that alliteration!) with a shared passion for academics. If I had to describe the student body (just on my quick observations) I’d say that they are quirky and eclectic. At any college or university there will be the quiet types and the extreme extroverts, it’s up to you to discover where you fit, but Swarthmore is definitely not all reclusive nerds (at least that’s not how it appeared… haha)

In response to your comment about your class of 50, I’d say that Swarthmore students seem to generally enjoy having fun and meeting friends, but each group’s definition of fun differs.

I’d say follow your gut and keep your EDII app open! Good luck!
