Swarthmore College

Swarthmore College is a private liberal arts college in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1864, Swarthmore is one of the earliest coeducational colleges in the US. It’s a member of the Tri-College Consortium with Bryn Mawr and Haverford, and is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania through the Quaker Consortium, which allows for students to cross-register for classes at all four institutions. Uncommon for a liberal arts college, Swarthmore has an engineering program. The 425-acre campus is anchored by Parrish Hall, which houses administrative offices, student lounges, and dorms, and borders Scott Arboretum. Travel & Leisure once named Swarthmore one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country.
