Swarthmore College

Swarthmore College is located 11 miles southwest of Philadelphia, far enough away to have a 425-acre arboretum campus. Members of the Religious Society of Friends founded the school, but it no longer has a religious affiliation. On campus, there are over 100 organizations in which students can get involved, and approximately 40% of students study abroad.

Swarthmore's Oxbridge tutorial-inspired Honors Program allows students are able to take double-credit seminars beginning in their third year, and they frequently write honors theses. Seminars are typically made up of four to eight students. Seminar students typically write at least three 10-page papers per seminar, with one of these papers often expanding into a 20–30 page paper by the end of the seminar. Honors students take oral and written examinations administered by outside experts in their field at the end of their final year.
