HWS is ripe with amazing opportunities - you just have to work hard and keep an eye out. My best advice is to find a mentor. The professors are overly dedicated to students, and they can become a strong support for your future academic or career goals.

The atmosphere on campus is really pleasant. The students who go here are very preppy and like to look good. We definitely have one of the most attractive campuses both in terms of the students and the beautiful scenery. The work is pretty difficult - a lot of requirements to fulfill given the liberal arts affiliation. There is absolutely no diversity on campus-which is a good thing.

This is a small city in a rural setting. The colleges do try to provide a variety of activities but there are not the amenities of a large city. There are plenty of opportunities for community involvement, the Finger Lakes offer beautiful scenery, the course work is challenging and people are mostly friendly. For adults there is the local wine trail, nearby cities offer opportunities for music, theater and museums. The campus is safe and safety in the city is not a problem if you are smart about where you go and when?just like any city. This is upstate NY - it snows a lot. Bring skis, snowboards, and sleds - this is the place for those who love winter.

Hobart is a great place. However, it's all or nothing. If you go here, you have to be there all the time. Not only does Geneva suck, it's dangerous and poverty-stricken. The townies hate the colleges, and the students (and for good reason). However, the departments really care about their students and want you to succeed. The professors are very approachable and are easily contacted, as there aren't many students.

The impression that about 85% of the students gave me was shallowness, selfishness and not to mention they were quite snobby. But that doesn't go for ALL of them, of course there were some very nice people, but for the most part it felt like high school all over again. The social life is dull, all anyone wants to do is drink.

I personally hated the cold weather and couldn't deal with it being extremely cold most of the time, and I didn't want to party all the time. If you get a degree from this place, it will guarantee you a promising future.
