The culture of the college values diversity, inclusion, and cooperation. Students here are extremely driven, yet there is no competitiveness go be found among the students, but, actually, there is a sense of cooperation that sets Swarthmore’s student body aside from that of other colleges. The food here is notoriously known for it’s mediocre quality; however, there are many dishes offered (meat and vegan based), and there are many dinning options on campus, including Sharples, Essie Maize, Science Center Cafeteria, and Kolberg Cafeteria.
