Would I like Swarthmore?

I think you would very much like Swarthmore. One aspect that my daughter has particularly enjoyed has been the absence of silos occupied by “humanities” and “sciences” (social and natural) folks. My daughter is pre-med with a biology major. But she is passionate about fiction writing and has taken two creative writing classes (she will take two more next year). At Swarthmore these kinds of combinations are supported by faculty and students alike. One of her biology professors is always reminding her of biologists and other scientists he knows who are also fiction writers. This support is really meaningful to her.
