gphoenix, I thought you were the one who introduced Pomona to this thread.

I believe I am agreeing with you in my belief that Swarthmore is the best liberal arts college in the country. Period. My son just finished his freshman year @ Swarthmore. Would I rather he had attended Pomona? No.

At the same time I believe that any young person fortunate to spend 4 years @ Pomona is unlikely to have any regrets and will have no one to blame but themselves if they don’t obtain a world class education a nice, if life threatening, tan.

As for this being the Swarthmore board, you should read the thousands of words dedicated to Williams, Amherst, Smith, Carleton and countless other schools herein. Some of us empty nesters have too much time on our hands.

Good luck @ Swarthmore, where you are unlikely ever to hear “surf’s up”, even on Parrish beach, gphoenix. I was going to say you are lucky to be heading to Swarthmore, but I’m sure your spot was earned through exceptional achievement.
