<p>as stated through the free Swarthmore mug that RTTers got:</p>
<li> You’ve been an insomniac since childhood and sleep is no longer important to you.</li>
<li> You were forced to eat Quaker oatmeal during your childhood and recovered memory is driving you here. :insert flash of Quaker oatmeal logo here:</li>
<li> The bus fumes are less obnoxious here at Swarthmore than they are in Providence, Cambridge, and New Haven.</li>
<li> Unlike western Massachusetts, Swarthmore has buses.</li>
<li> It’s not in New Jersey.</li>
<li> The ampitheater gives Swarthmore all the grandeur of ancient Rome, without all of that conquering and subjegating of other people.</li>
<li> You’ve always wanted to attend an all women’s college.</li>
<li> You’ve always dreamed of standing on the sidelines of a Swarthmore rugby game and shouting, “Blood makes the grass grow KILL Quakers KILL!”</li>
<li> Ten years ago you were the runner-up in the Mensa poster child contest and this is your chance for redemption.</li>
<li> You want to get grades the old-fashioned way— by earning them!</li>

<p>Just for the record, there are five opportunities to catch a bus in Williamstown every day. There are two eastbound buses going to Boston, two southbound buses going to New York, and one westbound bus going to Albany. Check bonanzabus.com if you don't believe it. </p>

<p>And if I recall, along about the fourth week of February, it is sorely tempting to hop on one of them. Any one of them!</p>
<p>Swarthmore's buses (SEPTA Route 109) stop at the campus train station and go to the Springfield Mall five minutes away, Target, Best Buy, Starbucks, Bertucci's, etc. It looks like they run 24 hours a day, but only once an hour between midnight and 4:00 am -- three times an hour other than that. My daughter says the bus in pretty convenient for a Target run...although the stores and restaurants along Baltimore Pike are really within walking distance.</p>
<p>it was hilarious! everytime i look at my mug, i start cracking up remembering jim bock yelling, "BLOOD MAKES THE GRASS GROW, KILL QUAKERS KILL!"</p>
