If you're a true liberal arts student, SR is going to be the best education you can get. The work isn't easy, but it's very rewarding and you will always be challenged & cared for. You will never be isolated from your professors or your classmates - in fact, you really can't escape them. If you're not prepared to be held accountable for your own successes and failures, SR is not the place for you.

Socially, a 400 person school has its upsides and downsides. It's easy to meet people and make friends, but it's also easy to get caught up in the haze of emotional turmoil that radiates from this crucible of teenagers. If you're looking at college as a primarily social experience, you'll be disappointed here. However, Great Barrington is an amazing little town, it's always calming to walk around and grab some food.

The students who do best here are the ones who have a true intellectual curiosity (and followthrough), but who don't get caught up in the social role of

young intellectual/artist/creative thinker.

Please really really assess your capacity for self-care & stability and your academic stamina before considering SR. If you're not 100% on either, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Since graduating, I've found no community half as stimulating as Simon's Rock is. I have no regrets in staying for 4 years, and I have the utmost respect for my teachers and peers I met while I was there.
