Hampshire College Top Questions

What are your classes like?

I find that the most dedicated students migrate off campus to take advantage of Smith, MoHo, UMass, and Amherst classes. At Hampshire specifically, the professors tend to be awesome, but the students are hit or miss. Some are really intelligent; others are total flakes. A lot of the time, discussion is hinder by students' fear of political incorrectness. One of my professors said that the single biggest problem at Hampshire was the way the students rabidly police each other's language. While being PC is certainly important, sometimes you want to backhand a rich white kid when he/she tells you that you said something racist.
