Hampshire College is entirely what you make of it. You may think that this is true of other schools, and to some degree, it is. But not like Hampshire. Here, you can sink or shine, entirely on your own merit. Too many doobie snacks = bad evals and a job at Taco Bell. Hard work and ingenuity = stellar recommendations by profs who love you. Also, Hampshire is like many colleges, in that it is a bubble. People will be more liberal than thou all over you. On the flip side, the administration is monstrously large and powerful for such a small school. Anything you want to do that is creative or crazy requires slogging through bureaucracy and paper-work, thus preparing you for real life. Please, come to Hampshire, and be awesome. Just ignore the hipsters hanging out smoking butts all around you. They're likely paying full boat and subsidizing your own journey through Hampshire.

Hampshire is not for the faint of heart. It is really true what people say about getting out of it what you put in. This is the first time I have not been able to bullshit my work, because who else would I be bullshitting but myself? There are some slackers here, and some stoners, but you know what? They don't make it through. The people who graduate are very motivated, bright people who become passionate about their work. Hampshire has taught me how to learn and that what I learn is up to me. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I am not interested in being told what classes I have to take. I certainly don't want to have to pay big bucks to take classes I have no interest in. I have found the professors here to be brilliant and interested in what they are teaching.
