I don’t think it’s “weird” at all… simple daytime talk show psychology.

BMC and HC are 5 minutes away. Swat is 30 minutes.

1st, BMC and HC students are more likely to interact on a regular basis so students see not only the best but also the worst aspects of each others communities. By contrast, when a BMC student ventures over to Swat, it’s more self-selected… an especially good class, an especially good party, an especially good event worth the half hour hike. BMC students are more likely to see selected aspects of Swat but may not be familiar with its cons (as a person with a sister and brother at BMC and Swat when I was a freshman, I know the schools intimately). Swat kids who venture over to BMC are also self-selected.
