Seriously. There's a shuttle-bus service. AND a large yellow school-bus on friday & saturday nights from Bryn Mawr, dubbed the "Fuck-Truck." (the return-service after the parties close at 2a.m. is a tiny shuttle-bus). And, as dorky-snooty as the students tend to be, the binge-drinking is not only common, but officially sanctioned, approved, & encouraged by the administration, which makes it a much better partying atmosphere than any other school i've been to: i.e. safe, & out in the open. Campus Safety actually protected the students from Police harassment or intervention, which i always thought to be impressively enlightened. Also, the rugby team did it's damnest to set a good example for the rest of the (unwashed) community. ;) pretty much dead on– though you neglect to mention that, even more sadly, Haverford and Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore’s 2 sister-colleges, come to Swat on the weekends to party.
