| I
am from Boston, I was a triple-Varsity athlete, I was
smart, civic-minded, and I loved life. Hamilton changed that.
It blows there. All the students were rich,
it felt like they were all from private schools, they
all had cars, and all we do is drink.
Which is fine with me— the drinking— if it were
with people I liked. I have great friends up
there and I pledged, but it's almost like the relationships
are drowned-out by the heavy cloud that sets over the
dining hall: the fraternity life. Once you pledge, yeah
you see people who aren't in your fraternity around and
at the bars, but really- you don't get tight with
too many others than the ones in your fraternity. Obviously, everyone has different experiences wherever you go, blah
blah, but i'm telling you, if you hail at all
from a relatively blue-collar background or an urban atmosphere and
are social, this is not the place for you. No
city in sight, which makes a bigger difference than you
could imagine, it's cold and gray and snowy all the
time, and everyone is lazy except when it comes to
their own lives and their own work. The people
individually are great and all, but thenplace just sort of
sucks the life out of many. One of
the good things is the learning. Education is real high-quality,
at least from my experience. The professors are engaging
the student body in the more sophisticated and challenging areas
of each of these respective disciplines, from which my experience
mostly comes: sociology, public policy, political science, government, economics, and
history. The professors are great.
