Maybe I’m just dense, but I don’t even understand the point of this thread.

Comparing Swarthmore to Harvey Mudd is like choosing between steak or seafood. One is an east coast liberal arts college. One is a suburban LA science/tech school.

You don’t choose between them because one is “better” (they are both as good as it gets). You choose between them because you want a west coast science/math school or an east coast all-purpose liberal arts college. None of us can answer that question. It’s a personal choice.

There’s no reason to “overthink” these things.
