Hampshire College is the institution of the black-sheep intellectual. It was founded under this ideal and it has remained as such. Though myself, and every other Hampshire kid, will occasionally bitch about Saga (the dining hall), the

latent racism of pub safety,
and Hexter tacitly suggesting this or that, almost everyone who attends this school will defend it on etiological, epistemological, and pedagogic grounds whenever it is slandered by an outsider. This is a fundamental truth of Hampshire kids: we bitch, whine, and moan, but when it comes down to it, we love this place. We live in a completely supportive community which allows us the utmost agency to pursue our interests. Those who qualify receive generous amounts of financial aid (I'm currently on a $45,000 per year institutional grant/small federal loan plan). And the people here are remarkable, genuine, quirky, deviant, and god damned interesting.

In terms of non-academic opportunity, Hampshire is very supportive. Certain study abroad programs cost no extra fees and Hampshire will basically get you into whatever grad school you hold interest in.

To address a couple of the common complaints about the school: I am damn proud that this institution doesn't respect traditional quantitative academic evaluation. Why? Because the American GPA is as inflated as the American Dollar. At what point will the American public recognize that the "A" is an entirely arbitrary mark which varies institution to institution? In my experience, Hampshire's qualitative evaluation system holds parties far more accountable than a fiat quantitative evaluation system ever could.

In regards to the campus aesthetic: no, we don't have the stately buildings. We are attached to four much older colleges that do (and obnoxiously so). Yes, we're the weird kids in the woods with the 1970's architect-was-so-hi buildings. However, the landscape here is gorgeous; we own three farms and hold 800 acres of woods. Early Springs are a bit damp, but early Autumn, Winter, and late Springs are amazing.

Honestly: if Harvard or Amherst or any other super-pretentious institution offered me a place at their college tomorrow, I wouldn't be interested in the slightest. I've met kids from all over the East Coast, from nearly every Ivy, from loads of small private colleges, and Hampshire people tend to be the most engaged, the most ready to call bullshit, the most pissed off and ready to do something about it.

We are making the difference, living the dream, and creating a reality from remarkable individual visions…cheap weed, keg hunts, drag balls, and trip or treats included. :)
