Always a really uplifting experience to walk around this arboretum…read more Awesomely, you can download tours from their podcasting link (http://www.scottarboretum.org/special/podcasting.html), which makes it really enriching. The arboretum is all over campus, but my favorite part is Crum Woods, located at the back of campus, behind some dorms. I always approach it a certain way, and like to head through the outdoor amphitheater (where graduation is held) as the start of my trek, but the official Arboretum Office is located off Cedar Ln (which is off of College Ave). You can download a map of the woods trails online, and that also shows a portion of campus. If you find the amphitheater, keep going into the forest from there, and you'll pick up the trails of Crum Woods. Dogs are welcome on leash, and when picked up after. The woods trails wind up and down hills, through different patches of vegetation (woods, field, etc.), and you'll see the nearby Septa rail line (formerly the "R3") traversing the landscape. While the specimens on campus are beautifully groomed, much of the arboretum (though certainly well cared for and maintained), is not all manicured like Morris Arboretum, or Longwood, or Chanticleer. It is left more natural, which I find really pleasant, but for those affected, please note, this does make a good portion of the arboretum inaccessible for handicapped people. And, even for those who are able-bodied, I do recommend sneakers, for sure, and some comfortable walking clothes. Your body will thank you, especially on a hot day. I think a lot of people enjoy this place for different sentimental reasons. An ex-boyfriend of mine would go there every Thanksgiving with his family to take a walk after the big meal. I have family who are "Swattie" alums, who seem to just see it as part of campus; a trip down memory lane. Some people like to exercise there, etc. It's weird, the different people I have been there with, all have such different reasons to like the place. My special tie to this arboretum is my grandfather. My grandfather was extremely into horticulture in his retirement, creating his own local orchard, to develop new holly hybrids, which he got to name and all (sorry I don't know the correct horticultural terminology for producing a hybrid). He had a good relationship with local horticulturalists, and in the 70s the Scott people and he did some sample trading (as the family story goes, I believe my grandfather got a Magnolia cutting, and they got a Franklinium cutting), so there may be some of his trees in the arboretum today. So this place always reminds me of my grandfather, and the time I spent with him in his orchard. The Scott Arboretum is really special to me for this reason.

I was at Swarthmore College for the first time recently for a wedding. (This is going to be written…read morestrictly about my experience on the campus, and not about the academic/daily aspects of the college.) The setting is just beautiful: from the moment we entered the local neighborhood and drove through the mansions in order to get to the campus gate, you could tell we were in a special place. The old brick buildings are set between a plethora of greenery - fields, towering trees, shrubbery and flowers. The ceremony was intended to be outdoors, but the rain location inside was a great substitute for the intimate joining of the couple. Lighting, music, etc. all worked really well. The reception was in an old cathedral-looking building (all religious symbolism has been removed). The food and service was amazing... all fall-themed for the season, and very hearty. All of the staff that I spoke to were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, my first experience at Swarthmore was enjoyable and memorable. :)

Having worked at a different Joann location myself for several years, I know what I'm talking about. The fabric section was quite disorderly and the seasonal section looked like a bomb went off. I tried to make some small talk with the woman who was cutting my fabric, and she wasn't having any of it. I also didn't find the selection particularly outstanding. If you're not coming here for fabric, you can probably go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's and have a better experience with a wider selection of items.

Very sweet person. The supervisors when stylist asked about my hair "go ahead you know what to do, you don't need me", that's when I had to speak up & address my concerns. Then supervisor realized I was serious. I told Her about the way she responded & they apologized. All teachers do is walk around & don't check on students to see if everything is okay w/ client. There's yelling across the school "I'm taking breakfast order for Chic fil a, who has money to order today!" Supervisors look at you as if from another planet, rolling their eyes. I was sorry my stylist was graduating & they recommended someone else for my next visit, but after experiencing horrible atmosphere my last 3 visits, I've opted not to return. Sometime you want relaxing experience & the music is too loud where people have to talk loud. It's like this every time I visit this location. The supervisor's & manager is unprofessional.
