<p>My daughter had access to a car, but did not want to take it to Swarthmore until senior year.</p>
<p>Here’s the god’s honest truth. If you want to go to a college where all the students have cars and drive all the time, don’t go to Swarthmore. Simple as that. It’s the wrong school for you. There are plenty of schools where all students have cars and you will be much happier.</p>
<p>For those who think that walking a half mile to the mall is too much and wouldn’t be caught dead on a public bus, I can only say, “Poor baby!” Again, Swarthmore’s probably not the right school for you. Many of your friends will be looking to stretch a budget, taking the Chinatown bus to NYC instead of Amtrak. You won’t be happy at Swarthmore. Don’t go.</p>
