Re: the feel, Swarthmore seems to be significantly more intense than Pomona, based on what I’ve heard from Pomona alumni. It’s unclear whether this is because the classes are actually harder or more work at Swarthmore, or if Swarthmore just attracts a type of student who wants to be more intense. The intensity is “pervasive” at Swat, whereas people seem to be more laid back at Pomona. Swarthmore may also have a small edge in grad school (PhD) placements, but only a small one.
