Swat has many students from urban and suburban areas, but I did not expect the community to have such a diverse group of students from rural communities. The experiences and unique perspectives from my peers are voices that should be highlighted because of the important role that Swatties from rural areas play in the Swat community. I sat down with Thomas Callahan ‘22 to talk a bit about his experience coming to Swat from a small town and how that has shaped his experiences so far. We have a lot of overlaps between us: we are both first years; we took two courses together in Philosophy and Religion; and we share a similar love for country music.
