I am a College professor so I have spent a lot of time of different college campuses. This was my first visit to Swathmore and I must say that there is no more beautiful campus in America and I have been to many!! I was there in July so the Rhodendrons and the Lilacs were not in bloom but they have amazing collection of flora all well labeled. The Crum Creek trails are wonderful to walk on and the campus peaceful, the architecture beautiful and the trees and plants lovely. It is the one college campus I would make a special effort to visit.
