<p>Collegialmom,
Mertz was built in 1981, so it is relatively new. The train station is literally at the foot of the campus. If you stood outside Parrish Hall and looked “down” the hill, the train station would be in front of you, at the foot of the hill. So, you’re talking a two minute walk from Mertz! This link will give you even more info. <a href=“http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/03/dbing/history/dorms.html[/url]”>http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/03/dbing/history/dorms.html</a></p>
