<p>It is refreshing to read dchow’s perspective. Many of the postings on this site are so focused on college numbers - rankings, prestige, size of endowment, and student body diversity - it may be challenging for a prospective student or family to learn more about what it is really like to be a student at Swarthmore. It seems that ID’s daughter had a perfect or near-perfect Swat experience; obviously, Swarthmore was a good fit for her. I think it would be beneficial for prospective students and their families to read many different student perspectives in order to gauge “fit”. So, dchow and other students, please keep those opinions/perspectives coming! Swarthmore prides itself on the diversity of its student body; let’s start fostering diverse viewpoints.</p>
