Get used to seeing the same people allllll the time.  If you love the people here, great!  If not, it'll be a drag on your life for a long time.  Although the books will tell you people here are brilliant and wonderful, it's only half true.  Some people are very bright, but those are usually the ones who are really pretentious and arrogant.  People are either nice or really annoying.  Also, people who love to gossip and know everyone else's business will be in paradise here, since it's not hard to know everyone is (trust me, this really blows).  The surrounding city is lousy to a ridiculous degree...talk about no college town...Swarthmore,PA is the dead-end of fun.  Academics here are okay...they get old really quickly since a lot of professors take pleasure in assigning a lot of useless work.  Natural sciences here are tough and they usually cause everyone to be really unhappy, lose hope of getting into a graduate school, or really apathetic towards work in general.  The students are generally weird types...most of the kids here probably hated high school and thought they were above everyone else because they were just too damn smart for the “common” people.  The parties are okay the first semester, but they old (and I mean old) really quickly.  They're all held at one of two venues and the music is generally lame.  The social scene in general just sort of sucks unless you enjoy doing to exact same thing every weekend at the exact same places.  People who think they're mainstream or hot at Swarthmore really aren't.  Most of these people know they'd be at the bottom of the barrel at any other school, but they love to walk around like they're all that.  Don't come here looking for an entertaining, fun social scene.  Come here if you are madly in love with weird people or want to be a poser.
