Swarthmore was absolutely the best college for me. The school is beautiful and the town is quaint (great late-night pizza too). If you want to go out to have a good time (as many do), Philly is only a 20-minute trip. The social scene does not revolve around Frat parties as it does at many places but there was always a good sponsored event every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Sports were not supported all the time, but as an athlete myself I didn't think it was too bad. When we won, people came. The students are bright and motivated but know how to have a good time too. All of my friends are now very successful now that we have been out of school for almost two years. All of my friends have good jobs/are in graduate school. I go to a top law school and my roommate was just admitted to Harvard Business School. Because the school is small, the alumni base is tight-knit, which can be great for job hunters. I highly recommend Swarthmore to anyone.
