<p>Nice post CollegialMom. </p>
<p>Seriously HC Alum - you scared the CRAP out of me when you said that all students at Swat are awkward because small liberal arts schools (especially one that advertises its hard-core atmosphere) just tend to attract students who aren’t assertive nor self-confident. SO NOT TRUE!!!</p>
<p>I talked to a number of current sophomores, and one junior at Swat. They LAUGHED at me (well, as much as one can laugh on facebook) for asking if everyone is awkward, not self-confident, and unassertive –– a question they considered to be ridiculous. Though I’m sure there are a few students with the case of the “Awkward,” I imagine they’re the minority and not the majority. From the experiences of my few friends at Swat, I can say certainly that the students at Swarthmore don’t differ too much from those at Columbia (except for the insane partier English majors - hehe :D) or Brown.</p>
