<p>Oh, and HC Alum, on a more serious note - if your observations of Swat students are right, what about Swat causes such a social atmosphere? If we connect low social skills to high intelect, then it would appear that most top liberal arts schools, including Carleton, Pomona, CMC, Williams, and Amherst have similar problems within their student bodies. Is that a fair assumption? Is a student body (or some proportion of a student body) lacking social skills a common symptom of a highly competitive university/LAC?</p>
