Swarthmore College

My son went to school hear and I really loved it! The arboretum is so beautiful as is the campus and buildings. I loved that the school was small so you did not feel lost as you do sometimes in bigger schools. Swartmore has a huge endownment so they are very generous with financial aid. We still get our calendar every year from them. Good education and staff i have nothing bad to say. more

Swarthmore is probably one of the best universities that most people have never heard of. I know I definitely didn't until I was applying to colleges. It is small liberal arts college located outside of Philadelphia. Swarthmore has a tons to offer. Because it is a small school, classes there are extremely tiny which means that you get a better learning experience filled with more discussion and personalized attention from professors. The campus is gorgeous as well. Right as you get off the highway, you feel as if you are a million miles from the city. Everything is green and the building are well situated. Swarthmore's faculty is first-rate and the college is consistently ranked in the top 3 among liberal arts colleges. For those who feel that they would benefit from a smaller school and enjoy that sort of atmosphere, this is an amazing university and one that you should definitely consider. more
