Location of Swarthmore College?

Hi everyone! Swarthmore has been on my list of colleges to explore, but I'm not quite sure where it's located. Can someone help me out?

Sure! Swarthmore College is located in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. The college's campus is situated on a beautiful, wooded property, which spans about 425 acres. Swarthmore is in close proximity to Philadelphia, with the city center being around 11 miles away. This location provides students with a great balance between having access to the suburban setting of the campus while still being able to benefit from the resources and opportunities of a large, urban area like Philadelphia.

Remember that Swarthmore is part of the Tri-College Consortium, with nearby Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College, and also allows students to enroll in courses at the University of Pennsylvania in the heart of Philadelphia. So, you'll also have excellent access to the resources and social opportunities of three other institutions.
