Hamilton: The Big Picture
I love the size of the school. It allows for intimate class sizes, you never feel alone when you walk into a dining hall, you know people when you walk around. and yet there are tons of people you don't know.
People are really REALLY friendly at Hamilton.
I would totally do something about the privacy issue. there isn't much here. Its also quite a bubble, isolated from the world on an international level. It would be nice to have the news again in my life.
Hamilton Academic Life
Prof's know your name, some come to events, very supportive the ones that are.
Hamilton is HARD, but good and the resources are totally available to you. All the time. Lots of intellectual discussion outside class, open curriculum the best thing ever!
Hamilton's Student Body
A student from very poor urban areas might feel out of place. The overall affluence of the student body is very real and sometimes in your face, but people in general are very accepting and open to meeting new people.
Whether the students are politically/socially/environmentally/etc aware depends greatly on the student. Some kids live deeply in the bubble, others are much more street smart and aware.
Hamilton Student Activities + Social Life
Work Hard, party hard
lots of alcohol, pot, but SO SO SO SO much else to do! mostly a hook up culture, greek not super important, mostly hold parties
Hamilton Naked Truth
It is a wonderful school with LOTS of really interesting people from different walks of life. If you know who to talk to, you'll learn so much about yourself and life in general. I love Hamilton!
