i gotta say, the people that voted swarthmore the third most annoying liberal arts college on gawker's thing are definitely, definitely just people that are jealous cuz they didn't get in or something. i mean, not to say that i had the best experience at swat. the people are incredibly social awkward (pot kettle black, i know) and we have to work all the time. probably given the choice again, i wouldn't matriculate there. but the swat flaws are only things that should be annoying to swatties, not to other people. one of the best things about swat is that we are not annoying in the way that most liberal arts schools are, because with the exception of a certain very small social group, everyone is a loser and totally knows it. unlike vassar, bard, wesleyan, etc, no one is really trying to impress anyone. everyone graduates about ten shades uglier than when they came in, and when i would go home to new york and see what was fashionable, i'd be like, "oh." and there are way fewer film studies, cultural studies, or art majors than at other liberal arts schools. so lay off, people!
