| D was looking at all of these except Hampshire, also interested in art. Skidmore probably has the most depth in art program, Hamilton's art dept. was small, but lots of indiv. attention. D ended up at SUNY New Paltz. It is much bigger (6,500), but has a very cool college town, similar artsy vibe as Bard, great art program, honors program and reasonable tuition. That being said, we/she really loved Hamilton...every single person we met there was so friendly, and the campus is beautiful, and the academics outstanding. It was a heart wrenching decision! |
