College Overview: Hamilton

Hamilton: Good times on The Hill
I chose Hamilton because I wanted a small, close-knit college environment, but I will definitely say I was lucky to have found as many good friends as I did, because in that small of a community you don't necessarily have that many options. If you're looking for a large school with a lot of lecture-style classes near an urban center, you should obviously not consider Hamilton.

Hamilton: Hamilton is GREAT
Visit, visit, visit. Right off the bat, I will say that it's academically intense and liberal-arts oriented, but you should check it out and get a sense of the student body (style and social life included) to figure out if it's for you. Because it's in a rural-ish area, you need to be sure you're not going to mind being here for four years.
