I’m African-American as well, and everyone was super friendly. The admins were definitely trying to impress us-- apparently, students were told to try to keep parties and the like to a minimum, so that things wouldn’t get too crazy while we underagers were around. Apparently, Swat students work hard–but play hard, too.
Haha, yeah, I do know you, Superlax09! The new username threw me, lol.
I stayed in Willets dorm, and it’s known to be the least nice of all. But all the students were fantastically welcoming, busy as they were-- and I, like superlax09, stayed up late just talking to people in the common room. It was fantastic.
Plainsman, I was unable to decide on one school that was absolutely the best for me. I applied to five schools, one Ivy, and the rest, top tier LACs. Swat is definitely on that list, also due to Discovery Weekend. It wasn’t on my short list before then, but that weekend absolutely made it.
