Tents can still be seen at the University of Pennsylvania Friday, but Penn isn’t the only local campus with demonstrations.About 30 tents and dozens of students are occupying Parrish Lawn in the center of campus at Swarthmore College, as the protest against the war in Gaza mirrors demonstrations happening on college campuses all over the country.Student Ragad A.

Swarthmore junior Owen Moss said, "I will say, the protests have made it a really challenging environment for Jewish students."He has been walking by the encampment every day and feels the protest is taking attention away from the war itself.
