By far the best thing about Hamilton is the people. Surprisingly, there is a very diverse student body and people really go out of their way to get involved with the college. I can count on one hand the amount of people I know who are not involved in a single extracurricular activity, be it a music or a capella group, sports team, community service organization, or greek organization, among many others. Students are also very supportive of one another and attend each other's events, concert, games, etc.

The academics are the other reason to come to Hamilton. Classes are very small; so this is not somewhere to come if you want to be lost in the crowd. At Hamilton, you have the opportunity to interact with professors who want to get to know students. Many of them are extremely accomplished in their respective fields, but they are at Hamilton because it is a true learning environment. We have the freedom to take the classes that we want, and many students take advantage of this, really getting a true liberal arts education.
