<p>A very wise and knowledgeable man once told me that you will not get a finer undergrad education anywhere in the country than you will at Swarthmore. You will find classmates from all over the country and all over the world at Swarthmore, less so at UMich. Obvious stuff-UMich will give you the “rah rah” of great Big 10 sports and sports are somewhat of an afterthought at Swat, except to those on the teams. I have always heard that Kenyon is terrific for creative writing if that is your passion, but it is not the easiest place to travel to.
Workload at Swarthmore is pretty intense, classes are small, campus is spectacularly beautiful. You have three very different choices. There must have been a reason you applied to three such different schools. What were you looking for when you applied?</p>
