<p>I'm an international applicant who has fallen in love with Swarthmore and really wants to go there. Because I live so far away, (Africa), it would be impossible for me to visit Swarthmore unless I get in...reading these threads has really helped me get a feel of what Swarthmore must be like and has really helped me in my decision to apply. Just want to say thank you to everyone who has put up threads and responded to them. They really are great!</p>
