<p>A) How do you apply for the Honors Program? Does this concern freshmen or merely sophomores up? .. I know the regular curriculum is difficult enough..</p>
<p>B) do people date other swatties? do they generally date students from the nearby colleges .. penn haverford etc .. or is it just the random hook-ups as in most colleges</p>
<p>Answer to your first question: it does not concern freshmen. You apply in the spring of sophomore year:

<p>People do date other Swatties. I am not sure about the nearby colleges thing or random hook-ups.</p>
<p>In fact, there is a statistic that 25% of Swatties marry each other. It's appropriately called 'The Quaker Matchbox'. Very good for Swat in terms of raising funds as alumni....imo. ;)</p>
<p>Oops, sorry, 16.66 percent of swatties marry each other. Here is a cartoon from the Phoenix:

<p>An interesting stat: 70% (!) of Princeton grads marry each other</p>
<p>That is impossible. Can you provide a link?</p>
<p>Aha....found one. No wonder Princeton's endowment is that high!! :)</p>
<p>Haha yeah that could just be it</p>
<p>i think at least 10% of darties marry each other.</p>
