Once upon a time I was a straight A student with high SAT scores from a midwestern public school. I could have gone almost anywhere. Hamilton must have liked me because I was offered a fair amount of money to attend the school. I'm not rich so I accepted the offer and enrolled. Big mistake. I hate it here. Although the students are smart, too many care more about socializing than developing as an intellectual. However, to the student body's credit, I take a 300 level course and I notice that the juniors and seniors are far more academically curious, but it shouldn't take two years to realize the benefits of a potentially great educational experience. The students are also arrogant, although the professors are quite helpful. The negatives outweigh the postivies and I'm probably going to transfer out next semester.
