HOUSING
1. IF YOU'RE ARRIVING BY TRAIN OR PLANE:
College guest housing is full because of an Alumni Council meeting that weekend.
Other housing in Swarthmore is very scarce but two small B&Bs have just
opened:
Joan Cline
124 Park Ave.
610 544 1785
Janice Hampton
314 Harvard Ave.
610 544 6779
Other than that, those without cars would do well to stay at a hotel in Philadelphia
near a train station--the airport train goes to the same three stations mentioned
below and you can also catch a train to Swarthmore at them. The train arrives
at 30th Street Station, not near any hotels but a stop or two from the following:
In Center City (Suburban Station)

2. IF YOU'RE DRIVING
There's a nice B&B near Media
The Alpenho, Roland Müler

There are various modest motels around (several on I95 by the airport).
Some college folks have used
Days Inn

If you come on I95 it's right by the Chester downtown exit, on the corner of
