Review of Hamilton College

from Englewood Cliffs, NJ

Describe your college in three sentences.

It is one of the most beautiful campuses with the best community. The relationships I have built with my friends, professors and the staff here have helped me grow throughout my years here. However, I know even after I graduate this school will remain a part of my life and growth forever.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Hamilton's academics have challenged me as a student, but I have always had a manageable amount of work. I also have found that even though we have rigorous academics, the supportive nature of our student body has made the work doable. When looking for colleges, I knew that I did not want to be a part of a hyper competitive academic environment, and that is what I have found here.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I have lived in a variety of different dorms during my time at Hamilton and on all sides of campus. I have found each of these dorms to be great living environments. From having walk in closets in my freshman year double, to the suite I am in my senior year with two bathrooms and a full kitchen, I have had great experiences living in Hamilton dorms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We have a number of eating options on campus, and as a picky eater I have always found great options. The diner has been one of my favorite places to eat at Hamilton. Theres nothing better than classic diner food after a long week, it also serves breakfast from 12am-4am on the weekends.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are a lot of fun activities and traditions on campus. Every year we have Class and Charter Day where there is a huge concert on campus. We also have a number of speakers and comedians that also come to campus. Our Campus Activities Board does a great job of making sure there are a number of activities for students no matter what their interests are.
