Swarthmore College

Founded in 1864 and originally of Quaker origin, Swarthmore College was one of the first coeducational facilities in the US and is one of the best liberal arts schools in the country today. The school was organized by a committee of Quakers prominent in abolitionist and women’s rights movement, and continues to foster a sense of social justice among its small student body. A member of the Tri-College Consortium, Swarthmore gives its students access to resources at Bryn Mawr, Haverford and the University of Pennsylvania; making the small liberal arts school feel like a place with boundless opportunity for its intellectually  curious students. The idyllic, 357-acre campus is a designated arboretum, ensuring that students have it all; a beautiful campus with creeks and rolling hills a stone’s throw from Philadelphia.
