<p>I did not see dchow’s review as negative - just an evenhanded perspective on Swarthmore from a current student. Despite Swat’s vaunted endowment, spending per student, and student body diversity, it still has much in common with other colleges - areas needing improvement. Dchow’s review was an accurate reflection of my daughter’s experience - both the positive and negative - and, hopefully, will add useful information for those prospective students interested in more than the “party line”.</p>
