Would I like Swarthmore?

I was recently admitted (WIN!)

And I feel like I would like Swarthmore, but what does the public think?

About me:
I am a Jewish Northeasterner who wants to study Creative Writing and political science. I enjoy a good hippie/hipster/alternative culture at any school, but was turned off by the extreme level of inwardness I found with the students at Wesleyan. I would like to go to college where students are genuinely engaged with their studies and will take stimulating/intellectual discussions outside of the classrooms. I appreciate diversity and even though I lean left politically, I am somewhat frustrated with an intense level of political correctness to the point where it becomes discriminatory. I’d like to see a diversity of opinions in my school as well in order to have a fuller and more mature conversation. In regards to substances, I’m okay with drugs and alcohol around me but not to where it’s the only thing to do for fun.

Would I like Swarthmore?
