My son is at Swarthmore. He chose not to apply to Williams for some of the characteristics you mention – competitive, preppy/jocky, less diverse. He wanted the intellectually curious culture of Swarthmore. He has found the best part of being at Swarthmore is the people – open-minded, intelligent, curious, talented, accepting, kind …
It has been the perfect fit for him. He loves the academics, relationship-building with professors, opportunities for research, collaboration among students, access to Philly, living in an arboretum, and the rigor.

Best of luck on your choice. I don’t think you can make a poor one.
