<p>That is so true. I have on my computer a picture of a student group that my Swat student works with and looking at it now, it is incredibly diverse, but I could not tell you who is from where or exactly their ethnic backgrounds. This is very typical of Swarthmore, as I think lots of people don’t really notice so much, but accept the diversity as the norm. To me it seem very unselfconscious, although various groups do have affinity groups established for different reasons.</p>
<p>I wonder if many parents of Swat students are the same way, and that is why their children are influenced in many ways to go there. It was what my children were used to growing up.</p>
