Hamilton College Top Questions

Greek life is important. Go greek. Just do it. Currently there are eleven frats, and as far as I am concerned two sororities (ATX and PBX). It's not too difficult to get a bid to a frat so long as you show interest. Most of the frats revolve around a particular sports team, and I believe that every guy ends up in the right society with out giving much effort to rush. It's more competitive and different for girls.. all I have to add for them is there is an A in ATX and a B in PBX for a reason.

overall, hamilton is the epitome of work hard play hard. classes arent easy, but theyre enlightening. our motto is "know thyself" because hamilton is a place to go if you want to discover and/or embrace who are truly are. we have a strong alumni network because the four years that are spent here are unforgettable. hamilton is a school that fosters self-discovery and overall knowledge as well as effective communication. it's a school that sets you up for the life you want after graduation without focusing solely on the time after graduation and not the time leading up to it.

The emphasis on writing and writing well. Also, some programs are especially strong (such as Chinese), so it helps to know what general area you are looking to major in.

This school is small and located in an even smaller town! All of the other schools to which I applied were in big cities.

I think one of the best aspects of Hamilton is that rarely can we find much to complain about except the weather. Anyone who doesn't believe me should visit and talk to our students.

very community oriented

It doesn't have a core curriculum allowing students to experiment and take courses they really enjoy. There are requirements for your major. Students are encouraged to study abroad. Classes are small. There are two dinning halls and a dinner. Their is food for all taste. The staff is extremely friendly. Many professors have an outside relationship with students. Some professors are life long mentors. Alumni have a say in school policy and donate accordingly. The library has many resources including databases and amazing knowledgeable staff.

no requirements

We have a TON of school spirit!!!

Hamilton College truly is a community. The small size of the student body coupled with a tight knit homey campus allows everyone to form life long bonds. Professors, adminstrators, and school employees add to this community feel. Everyone is friendly and willing to help students with any problem they may have. Hamilton also provided a great deal of academic freedom and flexibility. There are no core course requirements, so one is trulyable to focus on what interests them. Professors are eager to listen to student ideas, and more than willing to aid them in their intellectual pursuits.

It would be dumb for me to say, "I love Hamilton and you will too!" I do love Hamilton, but I think I was just very lucky in that I found a perfect-fitting college for myself. There are plenty of things that other people might not like about Hamilton: the vicious winter months, the small size of the school, the underwhelming diversity on campus.

Pretty much I just graduated from Hamilton and I cannot believe I will not be going back there. Driving up the hill gives me the feeling in my stomach like I am finally home. Life after Hamilton has been very good because I have many connections and my friends and I have kept quite close, but if I had the chance to do another year there I would in a heart beat. Anyone who gets in to Hamilton and doesn't go is missing out on what could have been the best four years of their life so far.

I love Hamilton?

The biggest complaint from girls AND guys is that the dating scene isn't any good. its not that no one wants to be in a relationship-- in fact, most people from both sexes do-- it's just that with all the scrutiny that comes with a small campus, it's hard to keep everything separate or private. It's a lot of fun having classes in rooms with fireplaces and wood floors.

Hamilton is the place I've always dreamed of. I never thought there would be a place where I could just feel I belonged. College is a microcosm of the real world, and if the real world is anything like Hamilton, I can't wait to get there.

Anyone would be lucky to go here, but you have to be a self starter and intellectually curious. You can't sit back and let others dictate; Its a place for innovators, gutsy, talented individuals.

From what I hear, Bundy Dorm Hall is the Ephitamy of the whole Hamilton drinks too much mentality. Do not ever go to Bundy sober, especially druing parties. That is party central and I don't ever want to step foot on that place based on the stories I hear about it. Even though I hear the parties are fun, I have a feeling sober people like me may not have fun.

We work hard and play hard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, Hamilton College is a vibrant, engaging community with active, motivated students.
