Swat vs. Haverford

<p>As soon as I read your words ‘silly generation’ I knew the answer. (in my mind)
Haverford.
We are a silly bunch. We’re a silly geeky bunch and WAY more laid back than Swat.
We have a black squirrel as our mascot for gods sake! Someone dresses up as a giant black squirrel!!</p>

<p>I personally went to Swat and found them to be kind of dull, if sometimes cute, and a bit full of themselves. At Haverford they people I met made me laugh. They were kind from the get go, a bit crazy and intriguing. They’re also geeks and SO proud of it. Haverford is just a much kinder, warmer and closer group of people in my experience.</p>

<p>Plus, if you want classes at Swat, you can still take them. There’s a van that goes over about ever hour.</p>

<p>Also, at Haverford, you get the full course listing of Haverford and Bryn Mawr without even having a long commute. They’re basically meshed together academically.
If you’re considering courses, then look at the ones that are at Haverford and Bryn Mawr because you’ll never have to deal with a real hassle of not being able to take a class because of the time of the commute.</p>

<p>I will give Swat credit for having good parties though and having good classes. Oh and they have a ~GIANT LAWN CHAIR O’ DOOM~.
But I just like Haverford and I can still take their classes if I want.
I would rather actually live at Haverford though.</p>

<p>Oh! And we have better dorms! Freshman singles or apartments FTW! you only ever have to have a double if you want it. Or if you write down cooking and don’t put that you want private time to yourself on your housing form. (because putting cooking is a surefire way to get you into an apartment as a frosh.)</p>

<p>Oh! And Haverfords FAB (Fords Against Bordom) does a really good job of having events.
We have indie bands all the time play Lunt, there are movie screenings (both Haverford and Bryn Mawr have them and are open to both colleges), random stuff (ex. We’re having an egg drop contest tomorrow. who can make the best basket protection for a dropped egg.), scheduled trips you can sign up for (musicals, food tour, paintball, baseball, basketball) or make your own fun (ping pong, video games, movie rental for your own movie night, crazy people who will do other non-partying things with you). And of course there’s academic lectures, movies and talks all the time.</p>
